The Social Work Department implemented the letter denotation for each area of emphasis to help identify students completing a specific Area of Emphasis.   When a student signs up for a Professional Field Experience with a specific letter, example SWK479A Child Welfare, it means that they have taken the courses electives for that area of emphasis and now they are in a field placement working in that area.  It does not change the content in the classroom and the student will be in a class with several different area of emphasis.  Refer to the Area of Emphasis page for course requirements and letter denotation.
