You do not need a BA in Social Work to get an MSW. Lots of people get their BA in Psychology, Sociology or any other number of fields and go on to get ther Masters in Social Work. It's best if your BA is in something that's closely related to social work....but even that's not always necessary. 

Many Masters programs place an equal amount of weight on experience as they do on undergrad education, so if you can some experience in the social work field (volunteer or paid) that will likely help you in getting accepted into a grad program.
