CSCU Pathway Transfer A. A. Degree: Social Work Studies

Addendum

and

Justification for Designated General Education Courses

Draft October 16, 2015

The Social Work Studies Transfer Pathway provides a common pathway for students graduating with an

A. A. degree from the Connecticut Community Colleges and transferring to one of the CSUs. (Charter

Oak does not offer a degree in Social Work.)

The Social Work Studies pathway is not a straight road. First of all, Human Services and Social Work

are, in many ways, very different fields. They have different histories and different purposes. The

pathway work group had to balance these two divergent histories and purposes. Secondly, the pathway

has to weave together one program oriented toward a 60-credit career degrees in Human Services with

another program aiming at a 120-credit degree in Social Work.

Part of the challenge has been to develop a pathway that serves the needs of students (1) who know

they want to transfer into a Social Work program, (2) who are uncertain whether they want an

Associate's career HSE degree or a Baccalaureate Social Work degree, (3) who begin working on the

career degree and realize they want to continue with a Social Work degree, OR (4) who complete a

transfer degree but realize they need HSE certification in order to work instead of/in addition to

continuing their education.

The proposed pathway works well for that first category of students, those knowing they want to

transfer. For the other students, good, informed advising can help students develop a program of study

(particular to each community college campus) that allows the student to hold off making the degree

decision until the last moment. That is, it is possible for students to select 45-60-credits worth of classes

that fulfill both the HSE Associate degree and TAP Pathway Social Work Studies degree. The TAP co-

managers have been working with the pathway representatives from each of the community colleges to

see if this is possible on their campus.

Please note. In the proposed Social Work Studies Pathway, line 25 provides a working list of HSE and

HSE-related courses from which a student can choose. Including these courses in the pathway ensures

the HSE programs remain viable and provides students the needed flexibility enumerated above. The

pathway is still waiting on contributions from some campuses. Once those have been received, they will

be transferred to the corresponding lines on Templates 1 and 2.

The TAP Social Work workgroup recommends that 4 specific general education courses be designated in

the Framework 30. These designated courses are important to the success of our students transferring

seamlessly and completing the A. A./B. A. degrees in a timely manner.

Revised 8/31/2015

ENG 101 Composition: This course is a standard required course for students to complete their

Written Competencies in the Framework 30 as well as possible additional general education

courses. It is recommended as the Written Communications I course.

MAT 165/MAT 167/MAT 168/MAT 201 Principles of Statistics: This course is required by all

CSU Social Work programs and is a prerequisite for the research and methods courses. Because

the Framework30 requires only one Quantitative Reasoning course, designating this

competency prevents students from needing to take an additional Mathematics courses before

beginning their upper-division work at the CSUs.

BIO 115 Human Biology: A lab science course is required by all CSU Social Work programs.

Because CCSU specifies a Biology courses, and ECSU specifies Human Biology, designating BIO

115 allows students to begin upper-division work at all CSUs.

SOC 101 Principles of Sociology: This course is required in the Social Work major at CCSU, ECSU,

and WCSU; it fulfills a Cognate requirement at SCSU. By designating it in the Framework,

students can complete the pathway and then a baccalaureate in 120 credits.

Transfer Pathway and Degree Program

Template 1 Western Connecticut State University

Complete four-year degree with articulation of community college degree to four-year degree Social Work B.A.

Social work majors must earn at least a “C+” in all designated major courses to have the course

credit apply to the degree program. Students must apply for junior and senior program status

following a group advisement session (for potential Juniors in late fall preceding the registration

period for spring semester; for potential Seniors in spring semester of the junior year). Transfer

students are required to interview with the department chair to arrange for meeting the above

criteria.

The Junior standing class is limited to 36 Social Work majors. In the event that applications that

meet minimum requirements exceed 36 majors, the 36 students with the top GPAs in Social

Work Major Requirements will be given first preference, with university GPA serving as Social

Work GPA tiebreaker.[CB13]
