Certified Social Worker (CSW) If you wish to attain the title Certified Social Worker (CSW) in Nebraska, you must first get a Bachelor of Social Work or Master of Social Work degree from a Council on Social Work Education accredited university or college.
Degree Requirements. The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree includes 125 hours of coursework, with an emphasis on academic/theoretical material as well as skills and practice experience. All BSW students begin the program as pre-social work majors. Depending on the number of hours taken each semester, and whether students choose to attend summer sessions, social work pre-majors take between 2 and 3 years of coursework to fulfill the requirements to apply for the social work major. After fulfilling pre-social work major requirements, eligible students may apply to the social work major.
