Social Work Licensure

GRADUATION from this program allows a student to take the State of Minnesota Social Work Licensing Exam, baccalaureate level (Licensed Social Worker).  Students typically apply for and take the exam in itself in the Spring of their Senior year.

To be a school social worker in Minnesota requires licensure by two different regulating boards.  One license is granted by the Board of Social Work and the other is granted through the State Department of Education.  The College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University is an approved program for school social work certification.
