Students may switch from Part Time Status to Full Time Status after completion of the second year, thus completing the program in three years. Scheduling Flexibility Flexibility in class schedules is a hallmark of Washburn's MSW Program. Since working students often require evening classes, all required courses are offered in both day and evening time periods. It is possible, therefore, to complete all classes during the evening. It should be noted, however, that Practicum placements are rarely available during evening hours.
Scheduling also takes into account the needs of commuting students.
In addition, the MSW Program has relationships with Practicum Agencies and Instructors in a wide geographic area of Kansas and Kansas City. Practicum Placements may therefore be obtained in the student's home town. Accreditation Washburn University's MSW program was granted full accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education in the summer of 1998. This accreditation recognizes that the program has been rigorously evaluated and has met all educational, curriculum and practicum criteria as set forth by the accrediting body.
