This transfer pattern is designed for students interested in social work and intending
to transfer to a four- year degree program with a major in social work. Students should
note that all schools of social work have a specialized, competitive admissions process;
therefore, completion of this recommended sequence does not guarantee admission to
a four-year program. It is essential that students consult the catalog of the school
where they plan to apply and then work closely with their academic advisor at Allegany
College of Maryland to select the appropriate courses.
Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for an Associate
of Science degree in Arts and Sciences - Area of Concentration in Social Work.
SPECIAL NOTE: Students interested in a career in Social Work should also consider
the Human Service Associate Program. Allegany College of Maryland's Human Service
Associate curriculum is a career program, which provides "hands-on" training in the
skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for employment in the social work field.
This training may also strengthen the student's application to a four-year social
work program. The Human Service Associate program is especially appropriate for the
social work transfer student who needs or prefers to work since the three required
internships often lead to employment in the helping fields. Students interested in
transfer to a four-year program in social work should consult with their advisor regarding
appropriate course selection.
