Course load for Social work students
Ive head that when you are in the social work program having 100% course load means you do more than 30 units a year. Is this true? If so, how many units do you do each term to be considered having a full course load?
Thank you in advance.

Doesn't look like it. It says you need 60 units to graduate and talks about level III. So you would be taking 30 units in level II and 30 units in level III.

Oh, you're talking about the combined program.

To complete the B.A./B.S.W. program in four years, normally full-time students will enroll in a course load of 30 units for Level I and 36 units each for Levels II, III and IV.

hey, in order to do the BA/BSW program you do need 138 units, so most people typically take 36 units a year. I personally did summer school which reduced my course load.
