one or more professional foundation courses under the following conditions:
| 1. |
Graduates
of an accredited baccalaureate program in social work may not
have to take professional foundation courses in those curricular
areas in which their undergraduate average was B or higher. This
policy extends only to those who completed their baccalaureate
studies within five years prior to admission to the graduate program. |
| 2. |
Graduates
of other University of Wisconsin campuses and colleges within
the state of Wisconsin who (within the past five years)
have completed courses equivalent to the School of Social Welfare's
courses with a grade of B or higher may be exempt from professional
foundation courses, except SOC WRK 708 and 709, in the corresponding
curricular area. Students must submit an exemption waiver form
for each course from which they seek exemption. |
| 3. |
Students
may be exempt from professional foundation courses, with the exception
of field education and SOC WRK 665, 708 and 709, upon satisfactory
completion of exams in the appropriate curricular areas. Exams
should be taken prior to the first semester in the graduate program
and may not be repeated. Exams are usually offered in March, June
and October of each year. |
| 4. |
Criterion
for exemption from the first semester of field instruction is
a BSW from an accredited undergraduate program within five years
prior to admission to the MSW program. |
