Schools of Social Work
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, visit www.cswe.org.
It is very important to choose a school of social work that is CSWE accredited in order to become licensed to practice social work.
