Our Online Social Work Programs

King University offers two online social work degree programs.

The online BSW at King trains you in the advocacy and intervention strategies necessary to support individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations. With a required 400 hours of field practicum education, you’ll gain extensive experience in the field.

Enroll in an online, CSWE-accredited, MSW program that empowers you to do more with its Clinical Advocacy focus. You’ll learn how to identify community resources and service gaps, and develop realistic plans to obtain essential resources, revise existing programs, and create new ones. You’ll complete 1,000 hours of field practicum education. If your bachelor’s degree is in Social Work, you’ll have Advanced Standing status and will only need to complete 500 hours of field practicum education.
