Scott D.’s Answer

A MSW takes most people three years past the 4 year degree. There are not a lot of social work jobs for persons with only a 4 year degree. Also, this occupation notoriously pays very little. You need to love the job. Check out what an MSW can expect to get paid in your area before you commit to this.

Angela’s Answer

Hi Deana:

Bachelors degree provides a foundation to the social work field. Classes provide a general overview of theories, current trends, history, and current practice. Practicum/internship opportunities are important components of a good program.

Master's degree is the next level, more advanced education. Students in a MSW program usually choose a focus or speciality such as clinical (LCSW), community organizing, administration and planning or Child Welfare, etc. More practicum/internship opportunities in this program as well.

Hope this helps,

angela
