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.
The level of education required for a career in social work varies with the type of work and work setting. In most provinces, the BSW is the minimum educational requirement for entry into the profession. In Alberta, the minimum requirement is a Diploma in Social Work. Athabasca University does not offer any diploma or degree programs in Social Work. However, most universities require you to do either one or two years of pre-professional studies before applying to their Social Work program. You can take many of these courses at AU.
