King University provides this General Disclosure to students prior to enrollment or financial commitment.
Licensing of social work practitioners is under the authority of a designated office in each individual state. All 50 states and the District of Columbia require that a social worker sitting for a licensing exam be a graduate of a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)-accredited program.
We are unable to determine if the education program meets the educational requirements in some U.S. Territories as listed in the documents linked below. We have provided contact information to the licensing board for that Territory. Students are advised to determine, prior to enrollment, whether the program meets licensure requirements in the Territory in which the Student is located. King University considers the U.S. State or Territory address included on the enrollment application as the student’s primary address.
Please see the documents below to determine whether or not King University’s Social Work program meets requirements for professional licensure in your state or territory:
BSW
Many states do not license Bachelors’ level Social Workers.
MSW
King University’s MSW program meets the licensure requirements for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

It is the student’s responsibility to research and understand any additional requirements that may be in effect.
