Note: Social Work Ethnic Studies/Cross-Cultural courses that do not appear on this list must be petitioned to the School of Social Work for acceptance. Many UNLV required multicultural and international courses could be simultaneously used to satisfy the social work Ethnic Studies/Cross-Cultural requirement. However, those students who chose to use UNLV multicultural and/or international courses for the Social Work elective will be short 6 hours and therefore will find it necessary to complete 6 additional credits.
