Bachelor of Social Work eligibility & requirements

Begin a rewarding career in Social Work with Northern Arizona University

Social workers find fulfillment in supporting communities, families, and individuals through challenges, and promote social justice through political and social engagement. A CSWE-accredited Social Work degree provides the skills, values, and knowledge students need for professional practice and offers the first step toward Social Work licensure.

Northern Arizona University offers both in-person and online Bachelor of Social Work programs. Demand for social workers is high, and the experience students develop while at NAU sets them up for success.
