erinc Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Dear community, I am a US citizen currently living in Japan. I would like to start an online MSW program while I am living here, but don't know if any program exists for students living abroad. Does anyone have any information? Thank you all so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 When I broached this subject with USC years ago, I was told that the answer was no because it would be diffifcult to ensure a field placement. I countered and asked if I could have a field placement on a military base and they said it may be possible. I just went over to the website and the answer remains the same. Provisions may only be made for active duty military (providing a placement is available). I would venture to say that other programs would have similar responses. Let's hope others chime in. erinc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) http://www.cswe.org/Accreditation/Information/DistanceEducation.aspx I looked on the CSWE's website and it looks like some schools accept international students so please forgive my erroneous information in my pervious post. I have attached the link above and some of the schools below. I cant tell whether CSUN means international students are welcome to apply (I know that you are a citizen) or if its available to international students.
