WSU will continue to update, by program, which of its programs fully meet the requirements of other states for professional licensure and/or certification. Consequently, those students wishing to pursue licensure, who live in a state other than Michigan or those states listed above, should consult with the licensing board in their state to determine specific requirements of the program and whether the completion of the Bachelor of Social Work program at Wayne State University would meet those requirements.

All current and prospective students are also encouraged to connect with the applicable professional licensure/certification boards in their respective states for additional information regarding non-educational requirements for professional licensure/certification, including, but not limited to, work experience, outside agency examinations, or background clearance.
