BCSW Licensure Disclosure statement
Revised 05/2024
Bethel College Social Work (BCSW) program is an accredited program through the Council for Social Work Education (CWSE) and meets requirements in Kansas to prepare Social Work students for licensing in Social Work. Most states require that a social worker applying for a license be a graduate of a CSWE-accredited program. Licensing of social work practitioners is under the authority of a designated office in each state.
BCSW has not made a determination if the program meets educational requirements in all other US states and territories. Students planning to seek licensure in other states are encouraged to meet with Bethel College Social Work department faculty for guidance on finding information on licensing in other states.
Students should contact the Board/Agency of a state/territory to try to determine whether the program meets requirements for licensure. Find state Board/Agency information from the ASWB (Association of Social Work Boards), at aswb.org.
