Eastern Washington University offers a full-time Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (BASW) degree that can be completed in two years. You can choose the path that best fits your life: an on-campus BASW or an online BASW. On‑Campus BASW: Engage in a collaborative, cohort‑based learning experience with daytime classes held at our Cheney campus. Social work classes are scheduled in 2- to 4-hour blocks and, depending on the quarter, are held 2 to 4 days per week, usually beginning at 8 a.m. Please note that the core curriculum is not offered in the evening. Electives are available during the day on the Cheney campus, in the evening, or online. Online BASW: Earn your degree from anywhere in Washington with online coursework designed for working adults, caregivers, and place‑bound students. The online format is ideal for students living outside the Spokane/Cheney region, community college graduates seeking a seamless transfer pathway, or anyone who requires flexibility. Practicums will be completed in person at the student’s local community.
