Just so you know, I am a Bachelor's Degree level social work student, so my answer has some validity.
That's a good question. I'm graduating in the Spring with a Degree in Sociology and a minor in psychology (somewhat similar).

Usually, to become a social worker, you need at least a Bachelor's degree in a subject related to psychology or counseling. Some agencies even expect a master's degree in social work, called a "MSW". However, there are also people who major in something outside of social work (like business), and minor is a subject that can lead to a career in social work. If you at least minor is a social-work related subject, you should be able to find work in that field.
While there may be some related positions for a psychology major, a social worker must have at least a bachelor's degree in social work (BSN).
The most popular minor to tag along with your major of criminal justice is social work. However, I prefer psychology or sociology as it can be applied to help you understand crime and criminals much better.
No, to be considered a social worker, you typically need a degree in social work or a related field, as well as a license or certification depending on the state's requirements. Having a minor in social work may be beneficial to work in related roles but may not qualify you as a licensed social worker.
