SRU’S NORTH HILLS CENTER TO HOST OPEN HOUSE ON PLANNED SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM

           SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Slippery Rock University’s North Hills Center on Route 910 in Wexford will hold its last open house of the academic year from 4 to 6 p.m. May 13. Faculty will be on hand to discuss educational programs, including a possible new offering in social work. 

           Designed for community college transfers, all of the required social work classes would be available on a sequential schedule in the evening, beginning in summer 2004. By taking two courses each semester (year-round), students could complete the 42 to 45 social work credits in two years, North Hills Center Coordinator Connie Bell says.

           Graduate programs at the North Hills Center include the Environmental Education Certificate, Principal Preparation Program, Special Education and Professional Writing. Degree completion in elementary education is  also available.

           Information, along with refreshments, will be presented during the open house. North Hills Center is at Waterfront Corporate Park Suite 101, on Route 910. Telephone: 724-933-8165.
