The biggest difference is that sometimes you will complete work in an asynchronous environment (classes and events happen on a delay) and sometimes you will work in a synchronous environment (classes and events happen immediately). In the asynchronous environment, instead of showing up to a classroom at a designated time and day, you will frequently check Canvas or other online platforms for materials shared by your professor. You can ask questions via Canvas or email; and similarly, you will submit work online and await grading online instead of receiving graded work in the classroom. 


In a synchronous environment, you will have a scheduled, digital class meeting with live or immediate interactions. Be sure to take note of the type of online environment your individual professors will use, and adhere to all assignment deadlines.

Online courses are delivered through Canvas, EOU’s learning management system. Courses feature interactive discussions, video lectures, hands-on projects, and collaborative assignments. Most courses are asynchronous, allowing you to complete coursework on your schedule within weekly deadlines. Faculty holds virtual office hours for real-time support. Learn more on the Online Student Experience hub.

This program is designed for you to meet the educational and experience requirements for the first level of MSW licensure in Oregon and most states.

While EOU’s MSW program is not currently accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), we have received pre-candidacy status.

We have submitted our Candidacy Eligibility Application and Benchmark I documents, and have received notice from the CSWE Board of Accreditation (BOA) that the EOU MSW program has been granted pre-candidacy status. Pre-candidacy for a baccalaureate or master’s social work program by the CSWE BOA indicates that an application has been submitted to be reviewed for candidacy, and received approval of its Benchmark 1 from CSWE accreditation staff to move forward for a candidacy review within 1-year. A program that has attained pre-candidacy status has not yet been reviewed by the BOA nor verified to be compliant with the EPAS.

Students who are admitted to pre-candidate programs in the fall (or later) of the academic year in which the program is granted candidacy status will be retroactively recognized as graduates from a CSWE-BOA accredited program as long as the program attains initial accreditation. EOU’s MSW program should receive Candidacy status in June of 2026, however, it is not guaranteed. Candidacy is typically a 3-year process, and attaining pre-candidacy does not guarantee that a program will eventually attain candidacy and initial accreditation.

EOU’s Master of Social Work degree does not meet the educational requirements for licensure in Florida, New Hampshire, and New York.

For the 2025-2026 academic year, EOU’s MSW program will not be admitting students from the following states that require full accreditation to be able to take the first level licensure exam: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The program will update the states from which we will accept student admissions as the program progresses through accreditation.  

For more information, please contact our admissions team or visit our page here.

You’ll complete your coursework fully online. The online MSW also includes hands-on learning through practicum and field placement opportunities, which you may be able to complete at your current workplace.
