11. How does the program align with licensure?

VCU M.S.W. students in the clinical concentration will graduate having met the educational requirements to pursue professional licensure, the specifics of which vary from state to state.

After graduation, you’ll need to complete supervised practice hours under a licensed social worker. Because licensure requirements vary by state, students should review the Licensure Handbook, Licensure FAQ and licensure resources. You can also contact socialwork@dhp.virginia.gov with specific questions.
