The School of Social Work offers the bachelor of social work and the master of social work degrees. (See also graduate catalog.)

The undergraduate major in social work is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The principal educational objective of the major in social work is to prepare students for beginning professional generalist social work practice.

All majors have a field education internship of 12 s.h. in one semester in an approved agency. Agencies serving as field placements include North Carolina county departments of social services, local mental health centers, state hospitals for the emotionally disturbed, centers for the mentally retarded, developmental evaluation clinics, remedial education activity programs, alcoholic rehabilitation centers, public schools, general hospitals, and care facilities. Each student is required to make application for the field education internship twoone semesters before the semester in the field.

Admission to the BSW program is made during the fall semester. Students should submit an application to the program during the spring and summer. A student is eligible to apply for admission to the BSW degree program when the following required conditions are met: completion of a minimum of 32 s.h.; an overall 2.5 GPA; and completion of SOCW 1010, 2010 with a 2.5 GPA in these courses. Students who plan to transfer from a junior or community college are encouraged to take a four-year college preparatory curriculum that includes human biology. The social work program will not accept for required major credit upper-level courses (numbered 3000 and 4000 at East Carolina University) taken at a junior or community college. The BSW program chairperson will determine the applicability of upper-level courses taken at senior colleges in meeting the BSW degree requirements. Additional information on the undergraduate social work program and application for admission may be obtained from the School of Social Work, 152207 Rivers Building.
