Earning a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities is one step in the licensure process to practice as a social worker in Minnesota. Requirements for licensure vary by state; however, completing an MSW from a program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is a common component across jurisdictions.
