You can study many things about social work for free on the net, but you will not get college credit for it.  Also you get what you pay for.  Be wary of Free anything.

Try the University of Kansas (KU) at Lawrence, KS.  They have a School of Social Welfare.\n\nhttp://www.socwel.ku.edu/

For accredited social work, that doesn't exist because you're required internships, supervision, etc. It's considered a professional degree to have even a BSW and requires classroom attendance. I'm sorry that other options don't exist.\n\nI got my BSW at the University of North Texas and it was GREAT! \nI got my MSSW at the University of Texas at Arlington and it was fabulous, also.\n\nBoth universities are in the DFW area. Both are great! Good luck with whatever you choose.

As someone who works in the social work field, all I can say is run away.  Find anything else in the world.  Find a job that allows you to leave work at work and just pay attention to friends and family, because they will be there when your clients are long gone.

I chose social work as my major because I live in the urban city where child abuse, teen pregnancy, high school drop out rate, black on black crime etc., etc., is frequent.  Someone has to be willing to make a sacrifice and help these souls that are extremely lost.  Someone has to have voice to show these poor souls that there is hope! If society turns their backs on these individuals than they become our problem! my upbringing was excellent! I did not go through hard times.  However, I was surrounded and encountered many of these situations with people that I knew.  I decided that I have to do my part on God's earth not just by talking about resolving but being an actual doer resolving!

Have you ever thought about being a missonnary in a different country ?Salavation army or a shelter maybe, like part time?I've been thinking on your question and this one is really tough.To actually still make a well enough wage to feed your family and to want to try enough to actually find how you can help others.I think your a good person that i love to have as a next door neighbor.I think on your problem is over my head.I'm sorry and i wish you and your family all the best life can give.

Normally, a Masters degree in Social Work.  To get into this type of program, usually you would need an undergraduate degree in social sciences (if not Social Work) and related volunteer or work experience.  See information about this type of program at the link below.

It depends on what you want to do with your career and how much $ you want to make. Just remember it's much more difficult to go back to school once you've been out. Especially when getting a Master degree. Syracuse is a great school. \n\nPeople in social work don't do the work for the money, with a business degree you can do anything with it and your earning potential goes up dramatically. \n\nGood luck!

Two options, look for departmental scholarships. I paid for two degrees in social work that way. \n\nSecond, fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and decline loans. It'll tell you what grants you can have. \n\nGood luck, sweetie!

financially yes it is you will make at least 20,000 to 25,000 more with the masters in social work versus a Bachelor of social work.  Also most agencies don't promote to supervisor unless you have a masters.  If you are not the primary bread winner and you don't like to be in supervision a bachelor is fine.  Also with a masters you can do family counseling and if you get your LISW  you can go into private practice and do counseling.

Typically people with degrees in social work can become case workers for domestic (state) adoptions.  Lawyers also facilitate independent (non state, non agency) adoptions.  For private agencies sometimes they are affiliated with a particular religion and have people who work in social work/missionary type positions work for them.  Call up some of them you find in the phone book and ask - go right to the source and you may find exactly what you are looking for.  Good luck!

It is not clear to me whether you are looking for a program that includes all of these different disciplines or a separate program in each individual discipline.  I have never heard of an MSW program that offers a combined degree in a group of disciplines, even if they are related.  Social work schools offer an MSW, regardless of whether you concentrate in casework or group work.  As for schools, I would think that if you live in Massachusetts you have a wealth of riches, because there are so many colleges and universities in Boston.  Then there is Smith College, which has a world famous School of Social Work.  But if you are looking for a program that combines all of these disciplines, I have to stop here because as I already said I have never heard of one (but that doesn't mean that none exists).  Happy hunting.
