Pathways to Licensure

The professional life-cycle of the Clinical Social Worker begins in a master’s-degree program, where the student learns values, ethics, theories, and methods, and engages in the supervised practice that is the foundation for competent practice.

You'll find that the first step beyond graduate school takes you into a world of practice, employment, liability, supervision, regulations, insurance, and licensure. You cannot enter this world unprepared: if your goal is to practice Clinical Social Work, you must know about all that is required of you, from the first day on the job to the day that you become licensed.

The pathway is sometimes difficult to follow, so we offer you assistance right now, as an experienced guide toward your goal as a professional.
