Completion of requirements for the M.S.W. degree with a specialization in clinical social work practice typically meets the educational requirement for licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia. Please note, however, that Virginia licensure requirements also include additional professional/supervised hours. Requirements vary by state. You can learn about educational prerequisites for licensure and certification in other states through the Association of Social Work Boards.
