You can get a good entry level job. The BSW is still the preferred degree in the the human services because the degree is accredited and the education is well understood. It is also very practical and has a defined internship. Now as with most professional fields the MA is becoming increasingly desired and required. So with a BSW you can get an entry level position - but in general you will want to go back for an MSW if you wish to advance in your career. Now with a BSW you can usually apply for advanced standing to most MSW programs and do your degree in one year rather than two.

Some entry level social work jobs require only a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW). However these positions do not generally offer much room for advancement, and the pay can be low. Most social work jobs these days require a master of social work (MSW) degree.

There are some positions that individuals can acquire with a related degree. However, a social worker in the strictest sense must have a minimum of The Bachelor's degree in social work (BSW). Many higher positions within this field require a master's in social work (MSW) or higher.

How long does it take to earn a bachelors degree after earning an associates?

Well an associates degree is a two year degree while a bachelors is four. Not all major will transfer from an associates to a bachelors. For example you can get an associates in nursing and go on later to get your bachelors and it only be about two more years. But if you have an associates in nursing and you want a bachelors in business. You will pretty much have to start over and most likely only your prerequisites will count toward your new degree.

This will strictly depend upon the college you are attending and what state it is in. Each state requires different courses to be taken and qualifications for graduation with a teaching degree.

But I know that at the University of Arkansas they require a masters degree in education. Where as in Texas they only require a bachelors. But at the University of Arkansas- Fort Smith you only have to have a bachelors degree.
