Licensure

Graduates of any CSWE accredited MSW program will be eligible for licensure.  Licensure can greatly expand employment opportunities as it allows for insurance reimbursement for social work clinical services but criteria varies by state.  We strongly recommend that all students interested in pursuing licensure in NJ become familiar with the NJ state regulations and keep abreast of any relevant changes to these regulations. Please see the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) and NJ Consumer Affairs, for additional information.
