Becoming A Social Worker

Posted by admin

A social worker is someone who has a bachelor's, master's or Ph.D in social work from an accredited school of social work. For someone to become a professional social worker, they must get a degree in social work.

The Council on Social Work Accreditation (CSWE) is the governing body that accredits schools of social work.

To find a listing of schools accredited by CSWE, go to http://www.cswe.org/ and click on "accredited programs".

It is very important to choose a school of social work that is CSWE accredited in order to become licensed to practice social work.
