Social Worker License has analyzed data from 4 schools who offer degree programs in the field of social work and human services. Jump to schools.
Among the four Delaware schools listed, two have social work-specific program information. Available information includes bachelor’s and master’s pathways, while no doctoral social work programs appear among the listed schools.
Two additional schools offer related human services or mental and social health programs. These may be useful alternatives for some students, but they should not be treated as social work degrees.
Available CSWE-accredited program information covers two Delaware schools. CSWE programmatic accreditation applies to specific social work programs and is separate from a college or university’s institutional accreditation.
Delaware State University is the one listed school reporting online availability in its CSWE-accredited program information. Students should contact the university to confirm which BSW or MSW courses, plans, and requirements are currently available online.
Reported online availability does not necessarily mean every course, degree option, or field placement can be completed fully online. Confirm residency requirements, scheduling, campus expectations, and field education arrangements before applying.
Based on available 2026 school-level figures, Delaware State University has the lower listed in-state tuition and average net price among the two schools with social work-specific information.
Tuition and average net price are institution-level figures, not social work program-specific costs. Net price can vary by financial aid and student circumstances, and these comparisons do not indicate program quality.
