Social Worker License has analyzed data from 8 schools who offer degree programs in the field of social work and human services. Jump to schools.
Utah offers a focused group of social work schools, making it practical to compare the state’s BSW and MSW pathways side by side. Five schools offer social work degrees, and the full school list below provides program-by-program details.
Graduate applicants have slightly more choices than undergraduates. Utah has four schools with bachelor’s-level social work programs and five with master’s programs. Doctoral study is concentrated at University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
Students seeking a CSWE-accredited pathway can compare five Utah schools. Four offer accredited baccalaureate and master’s pathways, while Brigham Young University offers an accredited MSW.
CSWE programmatic accreditation applies to individual BSW and MSW programs and is separate from institutional accreditation. It also does not extend automatically to a university’s doctoral program. Students should confirm the current status of their exact degree before enrolling.
Students seeking online flexibility have a smaller set of choices: University of Utah is the only school with CSWE-accredited social work programs identified with online availability. Other Utah programs may still offer part-time, evening, weekend, or multiple-cohort schedules.
An online designation does not mean every degree option, course, campus requirement, or field placement can be completed remotely. Ask which BSW or MSW track is online, whether any campus visits are required, and how field placements are arranged near your location.
Cost-conscious students may want to begin with the lower-price social work schools below, then request a program-specific estimate. In-state tuition and average net price are school-level measures rather than prices for a particular BSW, MSW, or doctoral program.
These figures are useful comparison points, not rankings of academic quality or final out-of-pocket cost. Fees, residency, course load, financial aid, living expenses, program length, and field placement requirements can change the total.
Start by matching the degree to your goals, then compare accreditation, format, field education, specialization, location, and total cost. MSW applicants should also ask about advanced standing, full-time or part-time study, and any certificate or dual-degree opportunities.
Utah also has programs in human services and mental and social health fields. These may support related career goals, but they should not be treated as social work degrees. Compare the curriculum and intended career path carefully, especially if professional social work licensure is your goal.
Utah has five schools offering social work degrees. Four offer bachelor’s-level programs, all five offer MSW programs, and University of Utah is the state’s doctoral-level option.
Yes. Five Utah schools offer CSWE-accredited BSW or MSW programs. Four have both accredited BSW and MSW pathways, while Brigham Young University has an accredited MSW. Students should verify current accreditation for the specific program they plan to enter.
University of Utah reports some online availability among Utah schools with CSWE-accredited social work programs. Confirm whether your intended BSW or MSW track is fully online, hybrid, or only partly online, and ask about campus visits and field placement requirements.
Yes. Utah State University, Utah Valley University, University of Utah, and Weber State University identify advanced-standing MSW plans. Eligibility, program length, schedule, and format should be confirmed directly with each school.
Based on reported school-level figures, Utah Valley University, Weber State University, and Brigham Young University have the lowest listed in-state tuition among Utah social work schools. Utah Valley University, Weber State University, and Utah 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. Students should verify the program’s accreditation and confirm current education, examination, supervised-experience, and application requirements with the appropriate licensing authority.
