Bachelor of Social Work Admission Requirements

A total of 120 hours is required to graduate from NSU. Any student transferring to NSU from a two-year school must complete a minimum of 60 hours at NSU or other 4-year school to graduate. The Social Work major consists of 54 hours.

If you have an AA degree or an AS degree (not an applied degree AAA or AAS ) from an Oklahoma school, you automatically meet all general education requirements.

Pre-requisites for the Social Work major include:

• Intro to Psychology, Intro to Sociology, General Biological Science, Case Management, College Algebra or Math Structures, Social Statistics, and Intro to Social Work (minimum grade of C is required in Intro to Social Work)

Transfer courses from TCC also include:

• HS 1113 transfers in as SOWK 2013 Intro to Social Work and
• HS 2023 transfers in as SOWK3873 HBSE I

Students with the AA degree in Human Services must still complete 60 hours at NSU for graduation purposes.

You must first apply to NSU (click here to apply) and have your official transcripts sent to the university in order to be admitted. Once you are admitted, you will be referred to the Academic Advising Office for advisement.

At that time, you will meet with one of our academic advisors to discuss your enrollment. It is recommended that you call the University Advising Center at 918-444-2910 or schedule an appointment online at www.nsuok.edu/advising to ensure that an academic advisor is available when you plan to visit campus.  After you meet with an advisor and receive advisement, you will be able to enroll for the semester. Your official degree plan will then be completed by the Advising Office.
