What if I need to take a school social work course?
If you need to take a school social work course there are several options:
- If you live in the Treasure Valley, BSU typically offers this course in the spring semester.
- To enroll in this course if you already have an MSW you need to:
- Enroll at BSU as a non-degree seeking graduate student prior to the start of the spring semester
- Add the class
- The class is typically offered late afternoon on Mondays and a 2 credit course
- If you live in Twin Falls, Lewiston or Coeur d’Alene there is a chance the course will be offered in the spring semester at BSU’s MSW Programs that are located in each of those cities
- If you are not able to travel to one of these sites to take this course, I will offer it as a on-line option. Contact me directly at: rallen@boisestate.edu
