Program Overview

STEP (Staff Training and Education for the Profession) provides continuing education opportunities by offering credit courses and non-credit continuing professional education programs.

If you're ready to move ahead with your career, but not ready to return to school full-time, the credit extension program is for you. The credit extension program enables students to register for graduate social work courses on a non-matriculating basis. The Program is ideal for potential applicants to the School who wish to enroll in classes before they are admitted; human service professionals who are interested in the content of a particular course for their own career development; those making a career decision who want to enroll in social work courses to help them make an informed choice.

Every social worker has a professional responsibility to stay current with new ideas and methods being introduced into practice. Our continuing professional education programs are designed for social workers and other human service personnel with various educational backgrounds. To help you continue your education and earn CECs, the STEP Program sponsors over 30 half-day and full-day, non-credit continuing education activities annually.
