Increase Your Value
An MSW can set you on the path for personal success, even as you work toward having an invaluable impact in your community. While holders of a Bachelor of Social Work are generally prepared to take entry-level positions in the field, those who have earned an MSW are often considered for more advanced employment in clinical settings like hospitals and healthcare facilities. Additionally, a master’s degree will likely be essential for social workers who wish to establish a private practice or seek an administrative position. An advanced degree can also increase your earning power in a field expected to grow 16 percent by 2026.1 A Master of Social Work salary tends to be at least $10,000 higher than that of a bachelor’s degree. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the top 10 percent of social workers earn an average of nearly $80,000, generally in positions reserved for master’s-prepared social workers and others in leadership roles.2
