Social Work Minor
|
|
The Social Work minor consists of eight courses (19 credit hours) and creates eligibility for reduced credit entry into the Andrews University MSW program. However, acceptance into the MSW program is NOT guaranteed by completing the minor. Students MUST complete all 19 credit hours to become eligible for this reduced credit entry. This “fast track” helps students to graduate more quickly from the MSW program, saving them over $11,000 (18%) in MSW costs.
