Social Work Degree Coming Soon?

[newdegree]

Correct me if I am wrong, but the issue here is that WGU would have a hard time offering the social work degree as a competency-based degree because students need to complete field hours. This is the problem with fields like nursing, which require hours to complete, which is why an RN degree can't be competency-based due to the hours needed for licensing under supervision in a program. Some schools offer RN-to-BSN programs, but they are not the same as those for students who have already completed the required hours and passed the licensing exam. While it sounds great, it would have to be a traditional program using a semester-based schedule.
