Dept. of Education - 2026
Social Worker License has analyzed data from 19 schools who offer degree programs in the field of social work and human services. Jump to schools.
Among the 19 schools listed with social work or related program information, 14 have social work-specific program information. The remaining five offer related alternatives in human services, mental and social health, or other social service fields rather than social work degrees.
Connecticut’s listed options span undergraduate through doctoral study. Some counts include separate campus entries, so students should use the full school list below to confirm the exact institution, campus, and degree level.
Available CSWE-accredited program information covers 10 Connecticut schools. CSWE accreditation applies to specific social work programs and is separate from institutional accreditation.
Across these schools, nine have an accredited baccalaureate option and seven have an accredited master’s option, with overlap between the groups. Available MSW information also includes advanced standing, specialization, and dual-degree options at some schools. Review the full school list below for program-level details.
Six schools with available CSWE-accredited program information report online availability. Because this group includes more than five schools, the full school list below is the best place to compare individual options.
An online indicator does not necessarily mean every degree option, course, or field placement can be completed fully online. Ask each school about in-person requirements, field education locations, and whether online study is available for your intended degree.
The figures below highlight the three lowest reported amounts in each category among schools with social work-specific information. Tuition and average net price are school-level figures, not social work program-specific costs, and these comparisons do not rank program quality.
Use the filterable school list to narrow options by degree level, location, online availability, and school-level cost. Then confirm important details directly with each institution before applying.
Students considering professional licensure should review how a program fits current Connecticut requirements. Completing a listed program does not automatically guarantee licensure.
Available school-level information includes bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral social work options. The listed schools include 13 with bachelor’s-level information, nine with master’s-level information, and seven listed entries with doctoral-level information.
Available CSWE-accredited program information covers 10 schools. Nine have a baccalaureate option and seven have a master’s option, with several schools offering both. CSWE programmatic accreditation is separate from a school’s institutional accreditation.
Six schools with available CSWE-accredited program information report online availability. However, this does not establish that every course, degree pathway, or field placement is fully online. Confirm the format and any in-person requirements with the school.
Yes. Available CSWE-accredited program information identifies advanced standing at several Connecticut schools and dual-degree options at some schools. Eligibility, schedules, and degree combinations vary, so review each program individually.
Based on reported school-level figures, Charter Oak State College has the lowest listed in-state tuition, while the University of Connecticut-Waterbury Campus has the lowest listed average net price among social work-specific schools. These amounts are not program-specific costs.
Completing a listed program does not automatically guarantee licensure. Students should verify current program accreditation and Connecticut licensure requirements, including how the degree and field education align with their intended credential.
