Clinical Social Work
Clinical Social Workers are often employed by hospitals, nursing and personal care facilities, individual and family services agencies, or local governments. They are usually required to hold a professional degree in social work and have obtained a license or are professionally registered. Most social workers will start with a bachelor’s degree in social work, but often progress into a master’s degree in social work or a doctoral degree.
Offering compassionate care, the Clinical Social Worker focuses on providing psychosocial support to individuals and families coping with chronic, acute, or terminal illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, or AIDS. Plans are also developed for family caregivers and patients to handle their unique situation once discharged from the hospital.
The University of New England’s Master of Social Work builds upon the foundation of your social work education to provide students with in depth insight into working with groups, individuals and in special needs situations.

Hello, I have my bachelors in social work and I am currently seeking to begin my matrculation in a MSW online advance standing program. I notice that your description says it may take up to 2 year to complete the coursework. My question is, is it possible to complete the Advance Standing Program in 1 year?
Jessica Swindal - March 24th, 2012 at 06:41pm
I am wondering the same thing as Brittney…do you offer advance standing?

Thank you for your comment. Yes, we do offer Advanced Standing that is completed in two years and one semester as a part time program. Please contact your Enrollment Advisor for more information on the program and the application.

After completing this program, will one be able to sit for the LCSW exam? Is this program recognized and accepted by APA board?

My question is how much will it cost to complete the traditional 4 year plan for an MSW here?

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to complete the MSW from another country? I live in Switzerland.
Thank you,

I have an undergraduate GPA of 2.98 and a graduate GPA of 3.5. My B.A. is in social science. I have always wanted to be a social worker and wanted to know if my undergrad GPA disqualifies me from this program. Any help would be appreciated.

Are all of the courses online, or is it necessary to be on campus for some part of the program? Do you offer both synchronous and asynchronous classes?
UNE ADMISSIONS - June 29th, 2012 at 02:25pm
Hi Alison,
All courses are online. There are no campus visits required. The only portion that would not be online would be your field practicum hours which you would be able to complete in your local area.
You can log on and complete your work any time of day, so you can fit your coursework into your schedule.
Please contact your Enrollment advisor at 877-863-6791.

Hi,
I am wondering how much will it cost to complete the 4 year program and if financial is applicable here since it is online? Also, I graduated with a BA that was not in social work,but with a GPA above 3.0 (Cum Laude), but have worked in the social work field for 12 years supervised by LICSW, am I able to do the Advanced Standing Option? I know that I would be eligible to apply for a license for I believe LSA based on my experiences and references.
