The department offers a unique cooperative dual degree program
with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES).
Through this program, students in the Department of Social Sciences at UMES can earn both a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Sociology from UMES and a
Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from SU.
This cooperative dual degree program offered through
UMES and SU prepares graduates for entry-level
professional social work positions; State social work
licensure, and graduate education. This program is made
possible through the shared resources of UMES and SU and
permits sociology majors at UMES to earn a Bachelor of
Arts in Sociology and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work
(BASW) degree in four years.
UMES applicants for
the dual degree program apply for admission to SU during
the fall semester of their junior year.
Applications for admission to SU are evaluated by the SU
Admission Office as special transfer applicants; this
status includes a waiver of all fees related to
application and acceptance. Upon acceptance, the
students will be matriculated at both institutions as
degree-seeking students.
