Important Information About Programs Leading to Licensure:

Each state has its own licensing board with its own social work licensure requirements. As the Master of Social Work degree program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, graduates from this program at the University of South Carolina may be eligible to sit for professional licensure in the state of South Carolina. The University of South Carolina Office of the Provost provides additional information on Academic Programs Professional Licensure.

We cannot confirm the program meets the specific requirements for professional licensure in another state, but the Association of Social Work Boards provides links to all state-specific licensure websites. 

Throughout their enrollment in the MSW program, students will receive guidance and access to detailed licensure application process information. All students are encouraged to review information and consult with the identified faculty advisor if they have questions about licensure.
