The Bachelor of Science in social work has been recognized by the Council on Social Work Education and the National Association of Social Workers as the entry-level professional degree in social work. Job opportunities exist in a wide range of public and private social welfare agencies and institutions. Many state Civil Service commissions, including New Jersey's, recognize the Bachelor of Science degree in social work as qualification for a professional social work position. Graduate programs leading to the master of social work (MSW) degree are available at most major universities. Students with the Bachelor of Science degree in social work are in an excellent position to apply for advanced standing in most programs. They are eligible to apply for professional status as certified social workers (CSW).
