Licensure as a graduate-level social worker varies from state to state but typically involves taking a intermediate exam shortly after graduation, two years of full-time practice under supervision by an supervisory approved Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), then a final advanced clinical exam. For students deciding to practice locally after graduation see the Indiana State Board of Social Work, Kentucky State Board of Social Work, Illinois State Board of Social Work, or the Association of Social Work Boards for details in other states.
