Social Work
The BSW program at Eastern Mennonite University has been continuously accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) since 1975. In Virginia and many other states, students graduating with a BSW from an accredited program have completed the academic requirements necessary for taking the bachelor licensure exam. Licensure requirements vary by state and most jurisdictions require you to establish your eligibility before you register to take the test. Most states require a period of up to 2 years post-graduation full-time employment in a qualified position with registered clinical supervision to achieve eligibility to sit for the licensure exam. In Virginia, bachelors level social workers qualify for the exam that leads to the Associate Social Worker license, in other states a similar credential may be called Licensed Social Worker (LSW). Some states and territories do not offer bachelors licensure, and therefore Eastern Mennonite University has determined that the BSW curriculum does not lead to licensure in these states and territories: CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, NH, NY, PA, RI, VT, WA.
