When you leave NCC,https://www.cswe.org/https://www.cswe.org/you will have taken a variety of liberal arts courses, anatomy and physiology, Intro to Social Work, Human Behavior in the Social Environment, etc. to enable you to transfer to a BSW program. While courses at various schools may be similar, each school will have it’s own requirements. How do you figure out the differences?
For this discussion you will need to go to the link below, Accredited Schools of Social Work.
