Enrollment Open for Salisbury Program at SMHEC

The enrollment deadline is approaching for students who want to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center (SMHEC). Applications for fall 2016 classes offered by Salisbury University will be accepted until Wednesday, Feb. 3.

“Classes are in the evenings, and course scheduling will meet the needs of nontraditional students or those who are working,” Kathleen Arban, site coordinator, said. “Students can complete the program from start to finish without leaving their home community.”

The first cohort of nine B.A.S.W. and M.S.W. students from the SMHEC satellite site in California, Md., will graduate in May.

“We are excited about the success of these students,” Arban said. “Through their hard effort, we are enhancing the mental health infrastructure in Southern Maryland. This year, 20 students were placed in field placements in the tri-county area. They are working in a variety of settings from child protection to private practice.”

The St. Mary’s County site is the fourth statewide to offer Salisbury University’s accredited B.A.S.W. and M.S.W. programs.
