How do online classes compare to in-person classes?

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.

Is the online MSW accredited?

The online MSW is currently in pre-candidacy for accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education’s (CSWE) Board of Accreditation (BOA).

While 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, EOU’s MSW program is not currently accredited by CSWE’s Board of Accreditation (BOA).

The program aims to submit its Candidacy Eligibility Application and Benchmark I documents for CSWE staff approval by March of 2025. Once approved by CSWE staff, the program will be granted pre-candidacy status. Pre-candidacy for a baccalaureate or master’s social work program by the CSWE BOA indicates that it submitted an application 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 that 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 2025, 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, 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.

Is the online MSW available in a blended/hybrid format (campus & online)?
