Dr. Openshaw decides whether or not a course taken outside of Social Work is a suitable substitute for SWK 597. If you don’t receive Dr. Openshaw’s permission, you run the risk of taking a course which won’t count towards your MSW degree and you’ll be required to take either SWK 597 or a course which is approved by Dr. Openshaw.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You can contact Dr. Openshaw at <a href="mailto:Linda.Openshaw@tamuc.edu">Linda.Openshaw@tamuc.edu</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Pam <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:28.0pt;font-family:Chiller;color:#C00000'>Pamela Hammond<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Chiller;color:#002060'>School of Social Work<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Chiller;color:#002060'>Texas A&M University-Commerce<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Chiller;color:#002060'>P.
