Edinboro University

Transfer of field credit for MSW Advanced Standing applicants potentially affected by COVID-19:

The EU Social Work Department will continue to accept transfer credit for field education courses to Advanced Standing applicants who earned a minimum grade of B or pass/satisfactory in equivalent courses, as this grade indicates the minimum number of hours required by CSWE were satisfactorily met. While Edinboro University awards the MSW degree, social work licensure is awarded by the state licensing board of the student’s state of residence. Therefore, all students should continue to be aware of the minimum total number of internship hours for the state(s) in which they expect to seek licensure, as they are responsible for ensuring they complete the required minimum total number of hours and provide any documentation of such hours as required by state licensing boards. CareerOneStop can direct students to correct information for each state by entering ‘Social Work’ in the Keyword box and selecting the state of interest in the Location drop-down.

The need for social workers has never been higher. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field of social work is projected to grow by 16% during the next 10 years–faster than most other occupations.

During the past five years, Edinboro MSW students have completed internships in 39 states, plus Canada, South Korea and St. Lucia as part of their degree program.

"I did not have a BSW degree and I could not be happier with the education, the leadership and the social work competencies and values that I received at Edinboro. Because of my degree I work full time as a social worker for County Human Services in Behavioral Health and APS, and a part-time hospital social worker. I look forward to continuing my post graduate clinical work towards an LCSW license."
