PROGRAM/LICENSURE ELIGIBILITY

If you intend to seek a clinical social worker license in N.H., please note that no online degree program without an on-ground residency requirement, including CWRU’s online degree program, is sufficient for licensure as a clinical social worker in N.H.
Due to state regulations, Case Western Reserve is presently unable to accept applications for admission to an online degree program from AL.
