(Criminal Justice)Social Work
Graduates of the ACU social work program presently work in a variety
of settings, including mental health programs, corrections, health care,
schools, children and youth programs, mental retardation services,
family services and gerontological programs.
Social work majors study the interaction of biological, psychological
and social aspects of life that affect human behavior and problems.
Students gain experience in the application of social work methods
by working directly with human service programs in the Abilene
area through the program's field education curriculum.
The Bachelor of Science degree in social work is granted only to those
students who have completed the social work program's curriculum
in its entirety. The degree indicates that the student is prepared for
beginning generalist social work practice.
Graduates are prepared both personally and professionally for either
immediate entry into the field of social work or for entry into a
graduate school to pursue the Master of Social Work degree. The
principle objective of the program, however, is to prepare the student
for entry-level generalist social work practice. A complete articulation
of the educational outcomes of the program is contained in the social
work program's Student Handbook, which can be obtained from
the department.
ACU's social work program is fully accredited by the Council on Social
Work Education to offer the baccalaureate degree in social work. This
accreditation enables students who have completed their work at ACU
to qualify for licensure as a social worker in Texas and other states and
to have "advanced standing" in many graduate schools of social work
throughout the nation.
Additional Admission Requirements
The declaration of social work as a major does not ensure admission
to the social work program. In addition to the requirements for all
degrees (see the General Education Requirements section of this
catalog), the student must apply for and be granted admission to the
social work program before taking most upper-division courses.
The following accomplishments are required for admission:
" Junior standing (60 credit hours).
* Completion of admission forms designated by the department.
* Submission of an autobiographical sketch that includes the
student's personal experiences, expectations, and self evaluation
relative to social work.
* Satisfactory completion of SOCW 230, 250, and 325.
* Approval for admission by program faculty after an interview
and consideration of various criteria.
Complete information on applying for admission to the program
is given to all students when they declare their major. The deadline
for application is the 13th full week of the semester prior to the
anticipated beginning of upper-division practice and field course
work. Students are notified of the decision of the faculty by the
15th full week of the semester.
