How many years do you have to go to college for social worker in Alabama?
Are you talking undergraduate or graduate? To be a practicing social worker you need an MSW from an accredited school. Although many MSW programs require a certain number of hours of humanities or social science classes, it is not a requirement to have a BSW. But, the advantage to a BSW is that you can take part in an advanced standing MSW program which is a 1 year degree, instead of the usual 2 year degree. So you're required to get a 4 year bachelors degree and a 2 year MSW degree ( or 1 year if you apply for an advanced standing program).

No, you can become a school social worker but not a school guidance counselor. In order to be a school counselor, you need to meet certification standards by your state which require specific internship experiences under a certified school counselor. When you get your Masters in School Counseling, you spend a year doing this in a school. When you get your MSW, you spend two years doing field work under an MSW, which may or may not be in a school. You may need to select school social work as a concentration in your MSW program, or go back to take Post-Masters course, or be fine with just the MSW-check with your state and MSW programs in your area. An MSW is a great degree, but many, many of the jobs exist outside of a school setting. A Masters in School Counseling, is a way to be sure you will work within a school, but the degree is limiting outside of that setting. And when jobs are hard to find, you may wish you had an MSW.
