The minor in Social Work is intended to be an interdisciplinary course of study administered by the Department of Sociology.  The minor is designed to provide students a theoretical and practical overview of the social work field from the perspective of various disciplines.

The minor requires a total of 21 units selected from seven categories.  In completing the requirements for the minor, a minimum of 12 units must be distinct and different from the units used to complete the requirements of a major or another minor.  Any units above this minimum requirement which can be used to satisfy the requirements for the minor and for the major may be double counted.
