Advising Notes

Students must complete all BHT-CP courses with a minimum of a “C” grade to progress to the next semester, and to successfully complete the BHT-CP.

Students may not complete SW2940-SW-BHT Internship during the first semester of the BHT program without prior approval, as SW2720, SW2715 and SW2950 must successfully be completed with a minimum of a “C” grade or better, prior to beginning the internship.

SW2940-SW-BHT Internship may be completed in one semester (e.g., 4-credits summer), or over two semesters (e.g., 2-credits summer and 2-credits fall of the next academic year).
