All school social work concentration students are required to take SocW565, School Social Work Research, unless the SocW567 alternative. 565-School Social Work Research is not open to students from other concentrations. As an alternative to the above research course, the requirement for Research II can be met with SocW567, Research Project, a substantial, year-long project which requires a planning and approval process starting in the spring prior to the concentration. See SocW567under MSW Course Descriptions.
