Social Worker License has analyzed data from 12 schools who offer degree programs in the field of social work and human services. Jump to schools.
The Arizona school list includes 12 institutions with social work or related human services, mental and social health, or social service programs. Five have social work-specific program information; the other seven offer related programs and should not be assumed to provide a social work degree.
Arizona has listed social work options at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels. Bachelor’s-level social work information is available for four schools, master’s-level information is available for four, and one school has a listed doctoral option.
Available CSWE program information covers five Arizona schools: Arizona State University Campus Immersion, Grand Canyon University, Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University Digital Immersion, and University of Phoenix-Arizona.
The available information lists both baccalaureate and master’s options at the two Arizona State University entries, Grand Canyon University, and Northern Arizona University. University of Phoenix-Arizona has a listed baccalaureate option. Advanced standing is reported for the four listed master’s programs, while dual-degree options are reported at the two Arizona State University entries.
CSWE programmatic accreditation is separate from institutional accreditation. Students should confirm each program’s current accreditation status, degree structure, admissions requirements, and fit for their intended career or licensing path directly with the school.
All five schools with available CSWE program information report online availability: Arizona State University Campus Immersion, Grand Canyon University, Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University Digital Immersion, and University of Phoenix-Arizona.
An online availability indicator does not necessarily mean every degree option, course, specialization, or field placement can be completed fully online. Prospective students should ask each school about required campus visits, synchronous classes, internship or field education locations, and whether online access applies to their intended degree and plan of study.
Among social work-specific schools with available school-level figures, University of Phoenix-Arizona has the lowest listed in-state tuition at $9,552 and the lowest average net price at $13,520. Northern Arizona University follows with $13,009 in-state tuition and a $14,158 average net price, while Arizona State University Campus Immersion lists $12,223 in-state tuition and a $14,967 average net price.
Grand Canyon University has listed in-state tuition of $17,850 and an average net price of $22,472. No comparable affordability figure is included here for Arizona State University Digital Immersion.
Tuition and average net price are school-level figures, not social work program-specific costs. Actual expenses may vary by degree level, enrollment status, residency, fees, financial aid, and program format, so students should request a current cost estimate from each school.
Use the school list below to narrow options by degree level, location, online availability, cost, and available CSWE program information. Schools offering related human services or mental and social health programs may be useful alternatives, but they should not be treated as social work degree providers unless social work-specific information is shown.
After creating a shortlist, compare program format, full-time or part-time study, advanced-standing eligibility, specialization options, field education requirements, and dual-degree opportunities. Verify all current details with the school before applying.
Five listed schools have social work-specific information: Arizona State University Campus Immersion, Grand Canyon University, Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University Digital Immersion, and University of Phoenix-Arizona.
Yes. All five schools with available CSWE program information report online availability. However, this does not necessarily mean every course, degree option, or field placement can be completed fully online, so students should verify the exact format with each school.
Available CSWE program information reports advanced-standing plans at Arizona State University Campus Immersion, Grand Canyon University, Northern Arizona University, and Arizona State University Digital Immersion. Eligibility and program structure should be confirmed directly with each school.
Arizona State University Campus Immersion is the one school with a listed doctoral social work option. Students should contact the university to confirm the current degree title, format, admissions requirements, and accreditation details.
Completing a listed program does not automatically guarantee licensure. Requirements vary, so students should verify current education, field experience, examination, and application requirements with the licensing authority in the state where they plan to practice.
Among social work-specific schools with available school-level figures, University of Phoenix-Arizona has the lowest listed in-state tuition at $9,552 and the lowest average net price at $13,520. These are school-level figures rather than program-specific costs, and individual expenses may differ.
