If you’ve started your journey to becoming a licensed social worker, UC is here to support your goal. For students at select colleges, the program has formed Articulation Agreements. These agreements guarantee your credits will transfer and ensure a seamless transition.
Articulation Agreements are formal agreements (or some would call a partnership) between two or more Colleges and Universities documenting the transfer policies for a specific academic program or degree in general.
Below is a list of colleges and universities that UC Online has partnered with, to increase the ease for students looking to transfer into the BSW Social Work program:

The University of Cincinnati currently has OGTPs in place for the Bachelor of Social Work Online program from the following Associate of Arts in Social Work programs:

In the senior year, students are also expected to attend their field placement for 16 hours each week, typically during normal business hours.
