The Joint Master of Social Work Program will grant academic credit for foundation coursework completed at another CSWE-accredited MSW program.
Transfers from non-accredited MSW programs, or graduate programs in other disciplines, are not accepted.
Requests for transfer course credit from another CSWE-accredited MSW program must meet the following criteria:
- The student requesting
credit for coursework completed at another CSWE-accredited MSW program
must be admitted to the JMSW program prior to approval of a request
for transfer credit. However, admission to the JMSW program does not
guarantee approval of transfer credits.
- Upon admission. the student
may request a review of course(s) taken in another CSWE-accredited MSW
program to determine whether the course(s) may be transferred for credit.
Coursework must be in the MSW foundation curriculum and must have been
completed within the five-year period preceding admission to the JMSW
program.
- A minimum course grade of
B must have been earned in each course by the student requesting transfer
credit.
- All requests for transfer
credit must meet the requirements of the Graduate School of North Carolina
A&T State University or the University of North Carolina at Greensboro,
depending upon which school is administering the admissions process
at the time of the request.
- When requesting consideration
for transfer credit, a student must submit a letter of request to the
JMSW Program Co-Directors which identifies the course(s) for which transfer
credit is requested, a copy of the official catalog of the university
where the course was taken, a copy of the course syllabus, and an official
transcript showing the grade earned.
- Within the above guidelines, students may request consideration for transfer credit for any JMSW foundation course with the exception of SOWK 705/SWK 511, Social Work Practice and Human Diversity. All students must complete this course during their enrollment in the JMSW program.
JMSW faculty in the relevant curriculum area will review the request for transfer credit based on review of the submitted materials, including the course syllabus, grade received, and possible consultation with the university where the course(s) was previously taken. Students will be informed in writing of the faculty decision.
Students may appeal the decision of the faculty to the Co-Directors of the Joint Master of Social Work Program. Each course for which transfer credit is requested will be reviewed independently in a timely fashion.
No coursework in the concentration curriculum may be transferred from another institution.
