| ADMISSION |
|
Prospective Freshmen
High School students interested in pursing a major in social work
should apply to the School of Arts and Sciences and indicate their
interest in social work on the application for admission. For detailed
information about the admission process or to download an application
go to the admission
page .
Transfer
and Continuing Students
Students
who are interested in the social work major, both those already
matriculated and those who are transferring, should contact the
Social Work Department. One of the faculty will answer the student's
questions, explain the program, and review the student's academic
record. To be admitted, students should have an overall grade point
average of 2.0 or better. Prospective social work majors must complete
an application during the first semester of their junior year to
be considered for formal admission to the Social Work Program. The
faculty of the Social Work Program review each application and notify
applicants in writing about final admission decisions.
Students
who have taken social work courses at other schools before transferring
to CNR must have them evaluated by their social work advisor. Ordinarily,
only courses taken at a CSWE-accredited social work program are
eligible for substitution for a social work course at CNR. Please
note that in no case may social work credit be given for prior
work or life experience (this is prohibited by CSWE accreditation
standards). CNR's Social Work Department has a special transfer
arrangement for students who have successfully completed the Human
Services major at Westchester Community College (WCC) and several
other area New York community colleges.

| ADVISEMENT |
| Each social
work major is assigned a social work faculty member as her advisor.
Students generally meet with their advisors at least once a semester,
but are encouraged to meet with them more often to review professional
plans and progress. |

| POLICY
ON NON-DISCRIMINATION |
| The Social
Work Program at The College of New Rochelle conducts all aspects of
its activities without discrimination. All those who participate in
the Program are expected to treat each other with respect and without
discrimination. Aside from being a policy in the Program, non-discrimination
is a fundamental value of the profession of social work. In addition
to providing planned, cumulative, sequential learning that integrates
knowledge, values, and skills, the curriculum emphasizes human diversity
as an important and critical dimension of social work practice. Students
learn throughout the curriculum to understand, accept and appreciate,
and use the special characteristics and skills of members of diverse
groups. These include gender groups, different racial and ethnic groups,
sexual orientation groups, socioeconomic groups, age groups, and people
with differences in their physical and/or mental abilities. |
