Dept. of Education - 2026
Social Worker License has analyzed data from 26 schools who offer degree programs in the field of social work and human services. Jump to schools.
Among the 26 schools listed, 14 have social work-specific program information. Georgia’s listed options span undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral study, while other schools offer related human services, mental and social health, or social service programs rather than social work degrees.
Because schools may offer more than one degree level, the counts below overlap. Use the full school list to compare locations, credentials, formats, and other school-level details.
Available CSWE-accredited program information covers 13 Georgia schools. These records include 11 schools with baccalaureate programs and eight with master’s programs. The full school list below provides the remaining school-by-school details.
CSWE programmatic accreditation applies to an individual social work program and is separate from institutional accreditation. Students should verify each program’s current accreditation status and confirm that the curriculum fits their educational and professional goals.
Eight schools with available CSWE-accredited program information report online availability. Because this category includes more than five schools, use the full school list below to identify and compare the individual options.
An online availability indicator does not necessarily mean every degree option, course, or field placement can be completed fully online. Confirm delivery format, campus requirements, field education arrangements, and whether online access applies to the specific BSW or MSW path you want.
The figures below highlight the three lowest reported in-state tuition amounts and average net prices among schools with social work-specific information. Tuition and average net price are school-level figures, not social work program-specific costs, and they should not be interpreted as measures of program quality.
Net price can provide a broader estimate of what students pay after grant or scholarship aid, but individual costs vary. Compare financial aid, fees, housing, transportation, and field placement expenses before making a decision.
Start by filtering the school list for your intended degree level, location, and preferred format. Then review program accreditation, plans of study, specializations, field education expectations, and total estimated cost directly with each institution.
Students interested in professional licensure should compare program requirements with the rules that apply to their intended license and jurisdiction. Completing a listed program does not automatically guarantee licensure.
Fourteen of the 26 listed Georgia schools have social work-specific program information. The other listed institutions offer related human services, mental and social health, or social service programs that should not be treated as social work degrees.
Yes. Available CSWE-accredited program information covers 13 listed schools, including baccalaureate and master’s programs. CSWE programmatic accreditation is separate from a school’s institutional accreditation, so verify both when comparing options.
Eight listed schools have master’s-level social work program information. Available plans of study include combinations of full-time, part-time, advanced-standing, and evening or weekend options, although availability varies by school.
Eight schools with available CSWE program information report online availability. This does not necessarily mean every course, degree path, or field placement is fully online, so confirm the exact format with the school.
Based on reported school-level figures, Dalton State College, Middle Georgia State University, and Fort Valley State University have the lowest listed in-state tuition among schools with social work-specific information. Dalton State College, Savannah State University, and Fort Valley State University have the lowest listed average net prices. These figures are not social work program-specific costs.
Completing a listed program does not automatically guarantee licensure. Review the requirements for your intended Georgia license or another jurisdiction, and verify that the program’s accreditation, coursework, and field education align with those requirements.
Social work-specific programs are identified as social work degrees or appear in available CSWE-accredited program information. Human services, mental and social health, and other social service programs may be useful alternatives, but they are not necessarily social work degrees.
Whether you live in Atlanta, Columbus, Augusta or elsewhere in Georgia, you can find the right social work or human services degree program for you.
