How do i find out if an online college is accredited through the state of Ohio in social work or counseling?
Question:
Answer:
At this time there is only one fully accredited online program in social work at that is at the University of FL. There may be programs in OH that do distance education (part of which may be online). If a program is accredted by CSWE (see cswe.org for a listing of all accredited programs) then it would be elligible for state licencing (in any state). At this time there is usually no accrediteation issues for the LPC. Most counseling programs are not accredited in the same way that social work programs are. DA
You'll first need to figure out what Ohio requires for a school to be licensed. I believe in Ohio, the program must be accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
Then, when you're looking for an online school, their website will usually say if they're accredited by the CSWE.
I know for the LMHC, there's only 1 that's accredited by CACREP and it's Capella. Not sure about Social Work.
Good luck!
