Overview
In Pennsylvania, the LSW license is granted after applying to the state, passing the Master’s level exam administered by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) and providing documentation of graduation from an accredited Graduate School of Social Work. The advanced clinical LCSW license may be earned after acquiring the LSW, and then completing 3000 supervised clinical hours, and applying to take the Clinical level exam. Bryn Mawr offers an opportunity to acquire group supervision hours toward the LCSW through its Clinical Certificate Program.
Licensure requirements for states outside of Pennsylvania may be found on the ASWB website.
The Social Work License Exam Prep Course, offered by The Center for License Information and Exam Prep at Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, has been designed to increase student success, while decreasing test anxiety, on the master’s (LSW) and clinical (LCSW) social work license exam. Special attention is given to practice theory, social work terminology, therapeutic strategies, treatment, practice techniques, ethics, social work values, DSM-IV, psychopharmacology, as well as diversity sensitive practice. The course includes helpful practice test questions, a study manual, and discussion. The comprehensive one-day sessions meet on selected Saturdays or Sundays. Participants provide their own lunch.
