Social Work Transfer, AA

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.

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
