Who We Are
MSW Education is an independent educational resource focused exclusively on Master of Social Work programs and social work career development. We are a comprehensive information hub for people researching social work education options.
We started our resource to improve access to MSW education information to people from all walks of life, with any level of college and work experience, to increase knowledge about what it takes to become a licensed social worker. We hope to do our part to fill the gap and match more aspiring professionals to their program of choice.
Our Website Resources
MSW Programs
We maintain one of the most comprehensive databases of CSWE-accredited MSW programs available online. Our directory includes program profiles, state guides, graduation data and cost analysis.
Field Education Information
We understand that field education is a crucial part of MSW education, so we provide resources about hours needed, how to work field education into a busy schedule, what is expected of your supervisor and of you as a supervisee, and potential places to get field experience.
State Licensing Information Hub
We find the state board websites to be somewhat hard to navigate, so we take their information and distill it into readable guides. We include detailed licensing information for all 50 states.
Our Editorial Standards
Source Verification
All information published on our website comes from official sources including CSWE, state licensing boards, and accredited educational institutions. We cite our sources and provide direct links to original materials whenever possible. We try to update our guides as quickly as changes come about, but you should always verify any licensing or school information directly with the board or school.
Content Review Process
Our content undergoes multi-level review including fact-checking and expert consultation before publication.
