SOWK 203 - Writing in the Social Work Profession

3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): ENGL 101, ENGL 102, SOWK 200. Scholarly and Professional Writing prepares BSW students to write effectively and clearly. This course supports student
learning to develop writing and editing skills: students review, critique, and synthesize social work literature, paraphrase and summarize effectively, write logically and coherently, and correctly cite references using APA format. The course also prepares students for writing demands in future coursework.

The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the accrediting body for Schools of Social Work, requires Social Work Programs to demonstrate how each course in the curriculum helps students develop competencies expected of all who seek entry into the profession. Programs must document a match between course content and CSWE competencies defined in Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS).
