The Indiana University School of Social Work offers two degree programs at IU East, a Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) and a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.)
This B.S.W. prepares you for entry-level generalist practice. It develops competence to exercise judgment and skill for intervention in practice with individuals, small groups, organizations, and communities. The B.S.W. equips you to work with people who are encountering problems related to personal or social circumstances. In addition, if you are receiving the B.S.W. degree and are admitted to the M.S.W. program, you may be given advanced standing in that program.
Becoming a Licensed Social Worker
Following a minimum of two postgraduate years of supervised social work practice experience, Bachelor of Social Work graduates of Indiana University are eligible to apply for licensure by the State of Indiana. Upon receipt of a complete application and a passing score on a standardized examination, the Indiana State Health Professions Bureau designated the B.S.W. graduate a Licensed Social Worker (L.S.W.).
Students in the B.S.W. Program must complete all sophomore and junior social work courses and achieve senior standing before enrolling in the senior social work courses.
