Students accepted into this program are exempt from taking foundation year courses (except where the student achieved a grade less than a “B” in a particular undergraduate social work course.) For advanced standing applicants, a maximum of two foundation courses (6 credits) may be retaken at the graduate level. All advanced standing students must take the Advanced Standing Bridge course and the associated Skills Lab (SOCW 596 & 597) offered in the August term.
