Quit / Transfer Advice
Hello,
Seeking transfer advice from anyone that has navigated it. I'll try to get straight to the point:
- I just completed my first year, in a part-time (3 year program). I have completed 21 credits. And the following courses:
- Policy 1 & 2
- Human Behavior 1 & 2
- Social Work with Diverse Populations
- Social Work Practice I
- Trauma-Focus Social Work (Elective)
- Originally, I was intending to start my program full-time, but when our lives were thrown upside down by double unemployment everything shifted. I switched to the part-time program trying to make it work. However, my program is not working out now that we relocated further away from the school. I managed to get through my second semester as we moved during it, but I'm not feeling confident about completing the next two years with practicum involved especially because my school doesn't offer much out my way.
I am feel pretty stuck because I know I can't transfer this many credits to a different program and I would have to retake courses. Which is an additional cost. So I'm honestly feeling like I should either quit and not pursue this anymore at this stage. My health is deteriorating as a result of the commute and overall the program has been lacking in the expectations I had.
Just wondering if anyone knows any programs that take more than 6-9 credits in the state of California / online. I'm not worried about sacrificing in-person experience because I'm a career pivoter and have plenty of life experience. Or if you have other additional recommendations or comments of support.
