New BSW From COSC

[ss20ts]

WGU's degrees in teaching and nursing aren't accepted in every state.

Are you sure on both points? "WGU's Teachers College online degree programs will help prepare you for teaching certification in any of the 50 states," WGU states here, with further information state-by-state.

The nursing program is only offered to students resident and taking practicums in certain states where WGU has clinical sites, but whereas I've heard over the years of several states disqualifying or adding additional requirements on Excelsior entry-level nursing graduates, I haven't yet heard that about WGU.

CSWE doesn't accredit associate's level programs, so I don't think they'd accept social work credit from a community college.

It appears to be a well-established practice that Connecticut community college social work credit can transfer to CSWE-accredited bachelor's in social work programs at Connecticut state universities.

Key word for the teaching degree is prepare. Doesn't say you can become licensed. In my state there are 2 licenses that are required to teach and a master's degree that has to meet very special requirements. I've talked with a few people who found out that the WGU degrees didn't work for the certifications here. 


The nursing degrees are not offered in all states. Seems to go along with my previous post. 


If you look at the courses in this associate degree there aren't any social work courses. Intro to Human Services is the only courses that's related which is required.
