The University’s School of Social Work will begin offering a minor program starting fall 2010.Social Work Dean Christian Molidor said the school decided to offer a minor to get closer to its goal of expanding its presence and potential for community outreach.”This is part of our strategic plan to become a bigger part of the University and to become a bigger part of the community,” Molidor said.Courses required for the social work minor will not be a scaled back version of the graduate program, but rather a survey-type program set up to give students a feel for the field of social work, Molidor said.”It will offer counsel in history [of social work], as well as some skills courses designed to give students a feel for how a social worker interacts with families and communities,” Molidor said.
