Northcentral University’s MSW program has achieved Candidacy for Accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education’s (CSWE) Commission on Accreditation. Candidacy for a master’s social work program by the Council on Social Work Education’s Commission on Accreditation indicates that it has made progress toward meeting criteria for the assessment of program quality evaluated through a peer review process. A program that has attained Candidacy has demonstrated a commitment to meeting the compliance standards set by the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards, but has not yet demonstrated full compliance. Students who enter programs that attain Candidacy in or before the academic year in which they begin their program of study will be retroactively recognized as having graduated from a CSWE-accredited program once the program attains Initial Accreditation. Candidacy is typically a three-year process and attaining Candidacy does not guarantee that a program will eventually attain Initial Accreditation. Candidacy applies to all program sites and program delivery methods of an accredited program. Accreditation provides reasonable assurance about the quality of the program and the competence of students graduating from the program. Most state licensing boards allow graduates from “Candidacy for Accreditation” programs to pursue state licensure. Students are encouraged to contact their state licensing board to confirm what is allowed, as state regulations can change over time.
Some state licensing boards will not recognize a degree from a program that is in Candidacy. In addition, because NCU is an online program, it is considered out-of-state. As an out-of-state program, some states require programs receive state authorizations before offering a program to current residences of that state, even if a state licensing board will accept the degree to pursue licensure.
At this time NCU is currently not accepting students from the following states: Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia, Iowa, Montana, New York, Pennsylvania.
