SSW adds degree in substance use, treatment
|
|
The School of Social Work has added a new Bachelor of Science in substance use and treatment degree program to address an array of substance abuse disorders that cost the U.S. more than $740 billion a year.
While substance use treatment already was a minor at UTA, undergraduates may choose this field of study as a major beginning in fall 2021.

Financial assistance for new Distance Education fee available
|
|
Students charged Distance Education (DE) fees for fall 2021 online courses may be eligible for financial assistance if they are facing extraordinary educational and economic challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional information, including an application form, will be available after Sept. 13 for regular-session courses or after the applicable census date for short-session courses.
This financial assistance award only applies to centrally charged new university DE fees, not DE fees imposed at the college level. The university DE fee is $25 per credit hour for online courses (excluding accelerated online courses). This opportunity is funded through support provided through the federal Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund.
