The Registrar's Office will prepare an Inter-institutional Form. The student takes a copy of this form to the registration office of the school being visited. The research option in the school's Advanced Curriculum approved by the Graduate School to serve in lieu of a thesis requirement for the MSW degree is completion of the advanced research course SOWO 292. This course is designed to provide the student with a knowledge of the purposes, the technology, and the methodology necessary to evaluate social work practice and conduct program evaluation. The School of Social Work employs the use of the student's course and practica grades and written evaluations of field practica to assess the student's mastery of curriculum content.
Successful performance constitutes evidence of mastery of curriculum content.
This assessment approach was approved by the Graduate School February, 1997.
