The School of Social Work offers the bachelor of social work and the master of social work degrees. (See also graduate catalog.)

 

The undergraduate major in social work is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The principal educational objective of the major in social work is to prepare students for beginning professional generalist social work practice.

 

All majors have a field education internship of 12 s.h. in one semester in an approved agency. Agencies serving as field placements include North Carolina county departments of social services, local mental health centers, state hospitals for the emotionally disturbed, centers for the mentally retarded, developmental evaluation clinics, remedial education activity programs, alcoholic rehabilitation centers, public schools, general hospitals, and care facilities. Each student is required to make application for the field education internship twoone semesters before the semester in the field. 

 

Admission to the BSW program is made during the fall semester. Students should submit an application to the program during the spring and summer. A student is eligible to apply for admission to the BSW degree program when the following required conditions are met: completion of a minimum of 32 s.h.; an overall 2.5 GPA; and completion of SOCW 1010, 2010 with a 2.5 GPA in these courses.  Students who plan to transfer from a junior or community college are encouraged to take a four-year college preparatory curriculum that includes human biology. The social work program will not accept for required major credit upper-level courses (numbered 3000 and 4000 at East Carolina University) taken at a junior or community college. The BSW program chairperson will determine the applicability of upper-level courses taken at senior colleges in meeting the BSW degree requirements. Additional information on the undergraduate social work program and application for admission may be obtained from the School of Social Work, 152 207 Rivers Building.

COLLEGE OF HUMAN ECOLOGY

 

Karla Hughes, Dean, 238 Rivers Building

 

The College of Human Ecology seeks to improve the quality of life for individuals and families through education, research, and service. The knowledge base of the field includes criminal justice, early childhood education, human nutrition and food, individual and family development through the life span, interior design, the management of food service and lodging operations, textiles, and social work. The faculty members of the college are committed to educating students for professional practice; to conducting research on the conditions which influence the quality of life for individuals and families; and to extending this knowledge to the state of North Carolina and beyond.

 

The Carolyn Freeze Baynes Institute for Social Justice, established by the generosity of Charles and Hazel Freeze with the support of Michael Ray Baynes, is located within the College of Human Ecology. The gift has been made by the Freeze family of Mooresville, North Carolina, in memory of their daughter Carolyn, and to promote the issues to which she devoted. The institute coordinates research, community partnerships, and scholarship aimed at improving the well-being of individuals and the quality of community life. The institute offers a number of activities for students, including research experiences, scholarship opportunities, and interaction with visiting scholars and alumni.

 

Undergraduate study is offered in birth through kindergarten teacher education, child life, criminal justice, family and community services, family and consumer sciences education, hospitality management, interior design, merchandising, nutrition and dietetics, and social work.

 

Students completing the major and minor requirements within the college may use core courses to satisfy only one requirement. A specific course may not be used to count toward the major and minor.

 

Bachelor’s and Accelerated MBA Program

 

Students in the merchandising or hospitality management programs who also wish to complete an MBA with either an apparel and textile management option or a hospitality management option may elect to follow an accelerated program of study. This program allows students to complete the requirements for the BS degree in four years and, if qualified, the MBA in two semesters plus summer study.
