Career outlooks

Social workers find employment across all aspects of human life, including family, clinical, addictions, school and healthcare social work, and possess a skill set valued in many more fields. Some social work positions, including clinical counselors, are required to be licensed by the state in which they work and to have an appropriate master’s degree.

Accredited bachelor’s and master’s programs all have an experiential component, with an internship requirement, to solidify skills and increase employability, but some positions also require supervised experience beyond the degree-earning years.
