Social Work education takes place on bachelors (BSW), masters (MSW) and doctoral (PhD) levels. The MSW is attained either after one year post BSW graduate study or two years post non-BSW four year degree. PhD programs, which are focused primarily on preparation for teaching, research, administration and advanced practice usually require two to three years post MSW graduate study. All departments and schools of social work in the US that are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) are housed in colleges and universities and must meet the general academic standards of those educational institutions, as well as the specific curriculum standards set forth by CSWE. Some schools of social work offer joint graduate programs combining social work with another relevant discipline, e.g., social work and law, psychology, sociology, ministry. Graduates of such programs are fully qualified in both areas and are in increasingly high demand because of their dual qualifications for addressing complex, multilevel societal problems. |
