Find the right school for you
Social work degrees in Nebraska are meant to provide students with patient-focused education that will ultimately prepare them for the clinical training program, as well as their work and interaction with patients. The type of degree needed to pursue a social work career in Nebraska depends on which way you want to go with your career. For example, certified social workers are required to have a 4-year, undergraduate bachelor degree in order to apply for a license. Certified marriage and family therapists and certified master social workers, on the other hand, need to have a graduate-level master degree in psychology or social work. This option usually requires 2 more years of education beyond what the bachelor degree option offers.
Here are some of the courses you may be taking:
- Human Growth and Development
- Professional Ethics
- Assessment Techniques
- Research and Evaluation
- Social and Cultural Issues
One of the greatest benefits to choosing a social work degree program in Nebraska is that you can now finish your schooling completely online. Students no longer have to be concerned about career or familial obligations prohibiting them from being able to attend classes in a campus-based environment. Schools in Nebraska have made their degree programs available online so that students interested in social work careers are no longer restricted from pursuing their dream career.
By attending an online or campus-based program, aspiring social workers in Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, and Grand Island, Nebraska can enjoy challenging careers in the state’s largest healthcare facilities, including Bryan LGH Medical Center, Lincoln Surgical Hospital, Alegent Healthcare, and Blue Cross of Nebraska.
