The BSW program has numerous dual degree options for students. These include psychology; sociology (applied practice track); gender, women, and sexuality studies; criminal justice; fine arts; and K–12 school counselor certification. All students enrolled in these programs must consult with their advisors in social work and the corresponding program for accurate academic advisement in both programs.

Please note that courses in the following dual degrees may be taken out of order so that students can complete all curricular requirements: Psychology; Gender, Women, & Sexuality Studies; Sociology; Fine Arts; and Criminal Justice.

Students may elect to take the social work major with the school counselor certification track. This is accomplished by using the free electives to complete requirements for the school counselor certification, including the general education requirements. Students who follow the curriculum below will receive a BSW degree and a K–12 school counselor certification.
