Sponsoring area:

Social Work Department

Molloy Concentration Code: INTSW

When a Social Work major is unable to complete the full requirements for the bachelor’s degree in Social Work (B.S.W.), the student may consider the interdisciplinary major as an alternate pathway to a career in the field of human services. Non-Social Work majors interested in selective social work as a Concentration for Interdisciplinary Studies should consult with the department.

In consultation with the department chairperson, those who chose a Social Work Concentration must take a minimum of 18 SWK credits. The following courses are recommended: SWK 2000, SWK 2500, SWK 3430, SWK 3440 or SWK 3600. Social Work electives, with the chairperson's approval, may substitute for two recommended courses.

Interdisciplinary majors may not participate in the field practicum or Capstone courses: SWK 4600, SWK 4610, SWK 4900, SWK 4910.

Interdisciplinary majors in Social Work are not eligible for advanced standing status for graduate social work education.
