Youth Services Minor


(18 credits required)

A minor in Youth Services is available to all SVSU students. Students who major in Social Work must do their SW 483-484 field placement in a youth services agency; these students are then waived from the CJ 496 Field Work requirement for the minor. These students must also take 18 credits from the youth services list without major/minor double counting.

Students who major in other disciplines must take either SW 215 or CJ 301, CJ 496, and the balance of the 18 credits from the Youth Services minor list without major/minor double counting.
