Social work licensing requirements

Determinations are based on educational requirements to be a Licensed Social Worker (or equivalent), which is required for employment/practice as a social worker in many states. The MSW Program at the University of Nevada, Reno is accredited by CSWE and will provide the education required for the optional high-level (clinical) licenses in most states, though some additional coursework may be required by some state licensing boards.

If your home address is in the following states and US territories: American Samoa, California, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Puerto Rico, please contact the MSW program at mswsupport@unr.edu before applying.
