A Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) is a CSWE-accredited professional degree that prepares graduates for entry-level licensed social-work practice (LSW or LBSW depending on state). Programs combine social-work theory, human behavior, social policy, research, and practice methods with at least 400 hours of supervised field placement. A BSW is the standard prerequisite for an Advanced Standing MSW program (about 1 year vs the standard 2-year MSW), which then qualifies graduates for clinical practice (LCSW after supervised hours).

Social Work is one of the most direct-entry social-service majors and is consistently in high demand across child welfare, healthcare, mental health, schools, and community organizations.
