Social Work Transfer - Wright State University

The Social Work Transfer program provides curricular options to prepare a student to transfer into the Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work at Wright State University. It serves as a quarter by quarter guidelines for transfer. It is not designed to prepare students with the skills needed to obtain employment in the field of social work upon completion of this associate degree. Students who wish to obtain employment in the social work field upon completion of an associate degree should follow the Social Services Technology Associate of Applied Science degree that is offered at Clark State.

The program schedules that follow are designed for full-time students who have completed all prerequisites and who have no college preparatory education recommendations. Some individuals, especially part-time students and those taking college preparatory education courses, will require additional quarters of study. Students should consult their academic advisors for help in planning their schedules.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of an Associate degree in pre-Social Work, a graduate will be able to meet the goals outlined for the general Associate of Arts degree; additionally, the student will be able to:
  • Demonstrate familiarity with social welfare policies and processes.


  • Demonstrate a basic understanding of Social Work profession and practice.


  • Display and appreciation and respect of diversity.
Scholastic Preparation
Students entering this program should have taken the college preparatory courses offered by their high schools. Students who did not take this track may require college preparatory classes or additional course work at Clark State.
 
Foreign language courses are required for BA in social work from WSU.  Students may take SPN 111, 112, 113, and 211 at Clark State toward this requirement.  Foreign language courses are not required for Clark State AA degree.  Foreign language proficiency may replace the foreign language courses; the student who has taken foreign language courses in high school should consult with advisors at Wright State University regarding this requirement.
