<p>A career in social work requires mastery of a wide range of skills to help people across all life stages and life situations, including children, the elderly, people struggling with substance abuse, or other vulnerable individuals who have a variety of physical, emotional, and mental needs. People who are inclined to help others to navigate everyday life may be drawn to a career in social work.</p><div class="paywall-selector"></div><div class="paywall">



<p>And there are jobs awaiting would-be social workers. Employment for social work professionals is growing faster than the average for all occupations—in fact, jobs for health care social workers and mental health and substance abuse social workers are expected to increase by 11% by 2031, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/ooh/community-and-social-service/social-workers.htm#tab-6">according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>. </p>



<p>A master’s degree in social work can prepare future social workers for their licensure exams, grant opportunities for more specialized training, or can be a credential boost for those people who are already in the field. And a flexible way to earn this graduate degree may be appealing, which is why <em>Fortune</em> has compiled a directory of 155 online master’s degree programs in social work. Each program on our list is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and is facilitated by a not-for-profit or nonprofit institution. </p>



<p>The data for <em>Fortune</em>’s online master’s in social work directory was gathered from the websites of featured institutions between March 15, 2023, and March 28, 2023. This is an unranked directory, with schools listed in alphabetical order. </p>
