OVERVIEW
Students acquire the skills, values, ethics and internship experiences necessary to
transfer successfully into a Bachelor of Social Work program. BCC Human Services graduates
regularly gain admission to excellent Bachelor of Social Work programs and perform
outstanding work in these programs. Students who attend college full time are usually
able to earn a BCC associate degree in two years and a Bachelor of Social Work degree
in two additional years. A Masters in Social Work (MSW) degree, providing access to
the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) level of social work practice,
can be attained in one to one-and-one-half years after earning the Bachelor of Social
Work degree.
Students who plan to transfer to a Bachelor of Social Work program should consult
with the Human Services program advisor.
