Spanish Language Counseling Proficiency

This proficiency is for BASW and MSW students demonstrating advanced levels of Spanish language proficiency and social work practice skills. There are two ways of obtaining this recognition: (1) taking ScWk 224, an elective course that uses cultural, linguistic competencies, and social work skills in the delivery of services to Latino client systems; (2) taking an exam (offered near the time of graduation).  For more information, please contact us at [email protected] and put "Spanish Proficiency Question" in the subject line.
