Minor in Social Work
The Social Work Minor is designed for students interested in augmenting their major with social work courses. Graduates with a Minor in Social Work are not considered social workers. However, employers may value the minor, particularly if the student is pursuing a career in a helping field.
Students must formally apply to the minor. Please contact our Welcome Desk at 303-615-0555 to schedule an appointment with an advisor. If you have any questions, please email bssw@msudenver.edu.
