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.
