There are also five-year, BSW/MSW programs. I don't know if any are online. But, one advantage of getting the BSW to shorten the MSW is that tuition is cheaper at the undergraduate level.
MSW programs are typically 60 credit hours and take three years to complete. USC has an advanced standing MSW program that is only 37 credits and takes 12 months to complete. There are online degree completion BSW programs for which you have to come in with the first two years of credits. They may be flexible in accepting CLEP/DSST. Briar Cliff has such a program, and they accept up to 90 transfer credits. They'll automatically give you 62 credits for having an AAS.

Quote:Get credit for what you already know, and finish your degree faster.
As a degree completion student, you can save time and money by building up college credits toward your degree — all before you ever take your first course at Briar Cliff! Here's how:
Transfer previous college coursework.
At Briar Cliff, we accept up to 90 credits from previous colleges and universities. Students transferring in an A.A.S. degree are credited with 62 credit hours towards the completion of their bachelor's degree at BCU. To start the transcript review process, contact an advisor.
Test out of specific subjects.
Take specialized exams through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and get credit for the material you already know. Subject exams are similar to those given at the end of a college course.
