Program Description

The Pre-Social Work Transfer Pathway AS degree offers students a powerful option: the opportunity to complete an Associate of Science degree whose course credits will directly transfer to designated Social Work bachelor’s degree programs at Minnesota State universities. The entire curriculum has been carefully designed to guarantee junior-year status to students who have been admitted to one of the seven Minnesota State universities. There, students can complete their bachelor’s degree by earning 60 additional credits. Students planning to transfer outside of the Minnesota State System are advised to consult with their intended transfer institution to determine transferability of the courses in this curriculum.
