Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

Additional information available on the Social Work Department website.

Recommended basic skills standards are

  • College Reading & Writing Literacy
  • College Quantitative Literacy 

This program provides the first two years for transfer students who wish to pursue a career in social work or the human services field. Because of different requirements at four-year institutions, it is important that students work with advisors. Students planning to transfer to CSU-Pueblo should directly follow the plan below. Students transferring to Metro State University must consult with their program advisor, as Metro State has a slightly different articulation agreement.

NOTE: To be employed in the social work field it is expected that you will be able to pass background checks. This will include fingerprinting for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and a Central Registry Inquiry.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Social Work Transfer degree program, students should be able to:

  • Explain and discuss matters of inequality impacting various demographic groups based on gender, power, culture, religion, and sexuality
  • Distinguish the various social service agencies available in the community and contrast how each unique service can meet the needs of unique individuals and their circumstances
  • Construct a warranted conclusion by recognizing assumptions, interpreting data, evaluating evidence, and examining implications
  • Assess issues affecting their communities from a variety of perspectives
