Ashland University

What you'll study

Coursework follows the BSW curriculum designed to develop core social work knowledge and practice skills that prepare students for professional roles and licensure. The online offering will maintain the same academic standards and intended outcomes as the on-campus program.

Entry requirements

The published course text does not list specific entry qualifications. Prospective applicants should consult AU’s social work page for current admissions criteria.

Career prospects

The program is aimed at preparing graduates for employment or further graduate study in social work and behavioral health. AU reports strong licensure and employment outcomes for its BSW students: in 2025 students achieved an 83.3% first-time pass rate on the Association of Social Work Boards exam, higher than both Ohio and national averages. Over the past five years, more than 95% of graduates were employed or accepted to graduate school within six months of finishing the degree. The program also responds to documented workforce shortages in behavioral health and social services.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The source text does not provide specific scholarship or tuition details. Students should contact Ashland University’s financial aid office or visit the programme web page for up-to-date information on scholarships, grants, and other funding options.
