Social Work, B.S. (STLCC 2+SLU)
This program plan is part of the formal 2+SLU transfer agreement between St. Louis Community College and Saint Louis University.
Students in this program will satisfy the degree requirements published in the 2025-2026 academic catalog at St. Louis Community College and the 2026-2027 academic catalog at SLU. Students must complete all courses and transfer to SLU by the fall 2029 semester.
Students who plan to transfer to SLU after fall 2029 should contact a transfer admission counselor to explore options.
Students who have been following a program plan from a previous year's academic catalog can reference their older program plan version by reviewing our previous catalogs.
For additional information see the catalog entry for:
- Student must complete all the courses outlined in the program plan unless an exception is approved by SLU.
- Student must complete an application for admission.
- Student may be subject to admission review under circumstances outlined in the admission policies.
- Student must present a 2.50 cumulative GPA at the time of transfer to SLU.
Program plans provide a guided pathway for students to earn an associate degree at their home institution and a bachelor's degree at Saint Louis University. Students may change the sequence in which they complete courses at their home institution. Students who complete a course that is not part of this program plan are encouraged to contact SLU to see if the course could be substituted.
Students majoring in social work may be eligible for advanced standing which allows them to waive 15 credits hours in the Social Work, M.S.W. program. Eligibility depends on GPA and course grades. This allows students to complete the M.S.W. in 33 credit hours. In some cases students may complete 4 additional M.S.W. courses to further accelerate their graduate degree.
