I don't think there is anything ACCREDITED in Social Work, and honestly, I wouldn't recommend doing an online degree in Social Work, or even counseling. You will truly be wasting your money. You don't realize how much you truly do NOT know until you are actually doing your internships and courses in this field. I'd be pissed personally if my boss were to offer the other SW position to someone who didn't bust their ass in grad school like I did. I meet people a lot who go to this school in Manhattan that offers "A Masters in Human Services in a year" (it's not accredited in Social Work). I have such a hard time keeping my mouth shut when they try to say they are a "Social Worker". Yeah, right. In my honest opinion, that is taking the easy way out and you really aren't getting ahead at all cuz you don't have the actual degree and experience.
