Professional credit courses (PCC) provide graduate credits on a
nonmatriculated basis. The only admission requirement is a
baccalaureate degree. Admission to these courses in no way guarantees
admission to the School of Social Work.
A student may take as
many courses as wanted, but no more than two per term. Professional
credit courses may be taken on a not-for-credit basis. For courses in
which credit is earned, only up to 18 credits with a grade of B
or better may be applied toward the M.S.W. degree if the student is
admitted to the M.S.W. program at Rutgers` School of Social Work. Such
credits may be applied only if earned within six academic years prior
to such matriculation. The credits applied are not calculated in the
student`s GPA.
Of the 18 credits that may be transferred, 15 credits may be in the following required first-year courses:
19:910:502, 503 Human Behavior and the Social Environment I,II (3,3)
19:910:504 Social Welfare Policy and Services I (3)
19:910:505 Methods of Social Work Research I (3)
19:910:507 Psychopathology (3)
One 3-credit elective (3)
Courses are offered at off-campus locations. They are announced in
special brochures before the start of each academic term. Classes are
limited in size, and applications are processed on a first-come,
first-served basis.
