Does anyone have any thoughts on the U.S. Career Institute that they would like to share? Good, bad? I am wondering about their degrees programs. Heard any thing good or bad on their social work degree program?

The USCI A.A.S. of Social Work helps graduates in this field apply for entry-level jobs in the field of Social Work. The role of the Social Work Professional is complex and intertwined with the relationship of the individual and society. In addition, the role encompasses striving to enhance the social welfare of all people. A Social Work Professional needs a wide body of knowledge to effectively help people, as well as the ability to deal with complex issues and situations to navigate the best possible outcome for the individuals involved. USCI does a great job of preparing you for this challenge. Their coursework is thorough and the instructors are fantastic. Given them a call and learn about the program, 1-800-347-7899.

 

hampsonna has provided comments as an employee of U.S. Career Institute. Any students have something to say?

 

I have reservations about just how much can be done with an A.A. in Social Work. Seems like that field requires higher degrees to gain any worthwhile traction.

 

Except, people who obtain a degree in Social Work are pretty much always trying to get into Social Work; it's one of those fields where you're unlikely to even get an A.A. in unless you're interested in working in that field specifically. But it's difficult to land a job in Social Work with an A.A. because the A.A. in that field is usually not enough to allow you to do much due to what requirements that line of work has set up.

People who pursue Psychology degrees below the Master's level often end up in business/marketing fields and were never really trying to pursue a career in Psychology in the first place. Personally, I had degrees in other fields including at the graduate level and was and still am working in a totally unrelated field, but I still pursued a Psychology degree with no intent to ever pursue Psychology as a profession. It was just something I really wanted to learn about.

 

Please delete. Thank You.

 

Will a DETC AA even count toward a license? I'd suggest standard run of the mill cheap community college for an AA degree. There isn't a CC in the country that doesn't offer one (a) at a distance (b) for CHEAP, (c) regionally accredited and (d) it will likely be a nice clean transfer/possible articulation agreement if/when the person wants to begin their social work degree (which will require clinical/practicum hours in person- just throwing that out there). Of course there are a million non-licensure tracks for human services, but again, what CAN be done vs BEST PRACTICES makes an RA CC AA the winner imo.
