Looking for advice on OnLine master/phd programs for Social Work or related fields. Have info on CalCoastU + some others. Any suggestions, hints. Have double BA in Sociology & Criminal Justice. Must be totally online. Time & Cost important. Maggie
Maggie, Since you reside in Oregon Cal Coast will not be your best option. Oregon's Office of Degree Authorization has stated that a CCU degree is illegal in that state.
Following up on Russell's comment, and after looking at your profile, you mght want to review the Oregon Office of Degree Authorization for programs that could cause problems working in Oregon, especially in a public function (read governemental).
Portland State University offers a Master of Social Work with a focus of study in child welfare. There are two sites, one that is in Pendleton and a site in Medford/Ashland. For more info, see http://www1.oregonone.org/ow1/plsql/ow1_program_desc?p_prog_id=387 or call 1-800-547-8887, ext. 8065.
Capella University offers Masters and PhD level programs in Human Services, which includes a specialization in Social Work and Community Services. I believe the MS is 100% online, and the PhD would require 3-one week residencies, 1 each year. http://www.capella.edu/reborn/html/schools/humanserv/program_mstr.asp Toonces
Two master degree programs you might want to look at are: Prescott College MA in Counseling and Psychology http://www.prescott.edu/map/grad_areas.html#counseling Occasional campus visits required. Cal State U Dominguez Hills MA in Behavioral Science Negotiation and Conflict Management http://www.csudh.edu/dominguezonline/beh.htm No campus visits required. At the time I was attending CSUDH the MA Behavorial Science program was popular with police officers and social workers.
