University of Nevada, School of Social Work Collaborative Agreements

In collaboration with Great Basin College (GBC), the University School of Social Work has developed a 3 + 1 program for students who reside in rural Nevada and are interested in pursuing a BSW degree. Through this program, students are able to complete the equivalent of the first three years of academic study at GBC and their final year as social work majors through UNR. Students in this program will be able to complete most of the University and Departmental core through GBC. Upon being accepted to the University of Nevada, Reno, students will apply to the professional sequence. Once accepted, students will complete the professional sequence through UNR (no less than 30 units). Social work major courses will be provided to students through distance education.

Students who are interested in the University/GBC Collaborative program should follow the same sequencing of courses as do students enrolled at the University of Nevada, Reno. Please refer to the Curriculum Plan and the Transfer Core Curriculum form for information regarding required courses and their sequencing.

Students attending GBC may obtain academic advising through GBC.
