Answer 4

The minimum educational requirement for a social worker is a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW). However, for many positions a master's degree is required. For this reason, I have never heard of an associate degree offered in social work, unless it is a transfer program to a four year college or university.

According to the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) website, which governs all licensing of social workers these are the allowable degrees:

Bachelors

Masters- MSW

Advanced Generalist- MSW with two years supervised experience

Clinical- MSW with two years supervised direct clinical practice
