In addition to an associate of applied science degree program, SAC offers a 30-hour Level II Case Management Certificate in social work, available fully online or face-to-face. This certificate gives you an in-demand skill set that you can begin using immediately and also provides career-enhancing training for those in psychology, criminal justice, sociology or related fields. Our faculty are professional social workers who bring a wealth of experience and compassion to the classroom.
