Minors should also consult with their Social Work advisors as early as possible and must be accepted into the minor in Social Work course of study by application to the Department of Social Work and Gerontology. The Council on Social Work Education does not accept the minor in Social Work as meeting the requirements for preparation for entry-­level generalist social work practice. A minor in Social Work can enter the major in Social Work through an application process to the Department of Social Work and Gerontology, allowing the major to use her Social Work coursework toward advanced standing in the M.S.W. graduate school education.
