Cal Poly Humboldt BA Social Work Program Application Instructions

We welcome you to the admissions process. By this time, you should have completed or be in the process of completing the prerequisite courses for the major, most of your lower division GE courses, and earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better.

Applications to begin the following Fall major sequence of courses are due no later than March 1. Applications received after this date may not be reviewed in time for placement in the appropriate major courses. Notification of acceptance will be made prior to the registration period for fall classes.

The social work major core program is run using a cohort model. A cohort model means that students take courses in a set sequence. Students will not be able to take courses out of order. This model fosters a student-relational community where students take the same classes together for their junior year sequence.

Please note that all accepted students will be required to attend an on-campus* orientations the first day of the Fall semester. This includes students who select the *Distributed Learning (DL) programs.

*On-campus orientation is required.

* DL (online) Students: For students considering our on-line programs, out of area students may need to move to the Superior Region of Northern California to complete their social work degree. Students in the online program must live in the state of California while they are in the social work program. In addition to the coursework, a community placement is required to graduate. The Cal Poly Humboldt Department of Social Work has the most relationships for community placements in the Humboldt service area.

Acknowledgements

I understand coursework averages approximately 30 hours per week, that there are significant quantities of challenging reading and writing responsibilities each week, and that this is not a self-paced program.

DL BASW Students are required to participate every Thursday from 6-8pm PST in live sessions.

As a DL BASW Student, I agree to be available for synchronous sessions and a mandatory annual campus visit, which may require personal travel costs and taking time off work..

I understand the DL BASW Program requires 14 hours per week of supervised social work practice activities during the senior year internship and that it is highly uncommon for these hours to be completed solely outside of regular business hours.

Many employers have specific guidelines and policies regarding educational leave time, release time, schedule flexibility and qualification for internships. It is your responsibility to become familiar with these policies and consider how they may affect your ability to complete your commitments within this program.

The internship must be completed at a site that establishes a formal agreement with Cal Poly Humboldt. The contractual process can often take 2-3 months and up to 1 year. In communities with existing social work programs (often other CSUs or UCs), many internship sites have existing agreements with other social work programs and may not be willing to enter into a new agreement with Humboldt.These agreements are typically reviewed by upper level leadership which can include Tribal Councils, County Councils, and/or Board of Supervisors, Executive Directors, etc.
