What Can You Do With a Master of Social Work Degree?

The Health Resources and Service Administration reports that a 30% increase in the number of master’s and doctoral-level social workers will be needed through 2030 to meet the demand for advanced practitioners.

Advanced social work practitioners enjoy careers in case management, family social work, clinical social work, criminal justice, medical social work, school social work, social services administration, and many types of counseling.
