If you want to get started in a social work career, the best thing to do is select a social work degree program in Georgia. There are a few schools that offer these programs, but you need to be informed about which degree option is most appropriate for the type of licensure and career you desire.

In Georgia, social work degree programs are offered at the master level and the doctoral level. The type of degree you will need depends on the type of work you intend to do. For example, both clinical and master social workers should have a master degree education in social work. Professional counselors, however, should have at least a master degree, but preferably a doctoral degree.

Some of the classes you will take include:

• Human Behavior & the Social Environment
• Social Welfare
• Social Work Research
• Psychosocial Assessment
• Group Counseling

Before you enroll in a social work degree program, you should be aware of your online options. The majority of social work schools in Georgia now have online degree programs. The greatest benefit of these programs is that they can be completed entirely from your home; students no longer have to worry that time restrictions and family obligations will hold them back from pursuing a career in this rewarding field.

By attending either an online or campus-based programs, future social workers in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, and Savannah, Georgia can enjoy prosperous careers with some of the larger medical facilities in the state, like Atlanta Medical Center, Grady Memorial Hospital, WellStar Kennestone Hospital, and DeKalb Medical at North Decatur.
