Approved for 505 sub:

Approved for 506 sub (most are academically more challenging than Soc W 506 and presume some prior knowledge of content from that home department, so there may be a learning curve regarding global health, GWSS, etc.):

  • Soc W 574 (program evaluation)
  • GWSS 503
  • G H 531 (some instructors presume GH knowledge before starting so can be challenging)
  • G H 538/HSERV 521 (see above and students must have research proposal)
  • B H 527
  • URBDP 519
  • HSERV 589 (only with Bonnie Duran as instructor)
  • PB AF 527-528 (more policy oriented, hard to get into them, difficult schedule for those in practicum)
  • Students who have previously completed a thesis or research through another graduate program may submit a graduate level paper in lieu of taking the Soc W 506 class.  Info at: http://socialwork.uw.edu/sites/default/files/sswfiles/students/505_506_waiver_policy_Aug2012.pdf
  • If there is another class that you think should work, you may send s course description/syllabus to Lin Murdock at linm@uw.edu  and we’ll assess if it can work.

If you decide to substitute one of the courses above, you do not need pre-approval unless noted, but you will need to email Lin to ask her to move the course into your Soc W 506 spot in your degree audit.
