Admission to the Program The Social Work program is open to Stockton students in good standing who have successfully completed the introductory sequences of social work courses and who have discussed their intent to major in social work with a social work program preceptor. Students are encouraged to consult social work faculty members as a means of determining their interests in social work and assessing what the program and the profession may offer to those who participate. The earlier this is done the better. Community college transfer students who do not come from a human services/social work program and/or who have not satisfied the liberal arts requirements described herein, may have to complete more than 64 credits at Stockton. This may require an additional one or two terms of academic work.

Behaviors that may result in a student being considered for professional termination or other disciplinary action (i.e., probation, suspension) include the following: Behaviors in violation of the Campus Conduct Code (as found in the Stockton University Bulletin).
