Coeur d'Alene Social Work Program

Be among the most in demand! Graduates of the LC State Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program are among the most qualified and prepared human service professionals in the region.

The Coeur d'Alene (CDA) Social Work Program is an extension of the Lewiston Program.  It is located in a beautiful location near the North Idaho College Campus.  Learn more about their campus here.  Students entering the CDA Program either complete their general education requirements at a local community college or enroll in LCSC's on-line general education courses.

To enter the CDA Program students must have completed all general education requirements at an alternative campus in addition to completing SW240 and SW241.  Many students have fulfilled this requirement through North Idaho College's Social Work Transfer Program.  During the fall semester prior to their senior year students formally apply to the Accredited Social Work Program.  Provisional acceptance may be given if students are in progress towards these requirements
