Why Online?

Online degree programs in social work offer the same rigorous curricula as their brick-and-mortar counterparts, and graduates are well-positioned to enter the workforce and pursue careers in social work. The coursework also discusses licensure for social workers with a master’s degree or higher, including supervised postgraduate experience, qualifying exams, and other requirements that vary from state to state. Some online social work programs are self-paced, or asynchronous, while others follow a synchronous schedule with weekly assignments and required online discussions.

Online Social Work Degrees

Students interested in careers as social workers can earn bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees in this field, though graduate degrees are generally required for licensed social work positions. To learn more about different degree levels, please check out the pages linked below.
