I think I am pretty familiar with the requirements and lengthy obligation it takes to become a Social Worker/Therapist. The school I went to in fact offers a special program for students who live in rural areas so they are able to come and take their classes during the summertime in NYC and do their internship at a social service agency near where they live during the school year. And this program is in fact accredited. I don't see how anyone could have the appropriate knowledge they need to become an effective Social Worker or Therapist by only taking classes online. The major part of learning in the SW program is through classes and the face to face interaction you get with your peers who are dealing with complex client issues as well. Even if an internship is offered along with the online classes, I still think that the person will be missing out on a whole lot, but who am I to judge, I only went through an MSW program and I am a Social Worker, as well!!!
