I was originally admitted to the University of Washington BASW program, but because the program is…read morehybrid and my employer could not accommodate the required in-person classes, I began looking for a fully online BASW. That led me to Eastern Washington University. While the Online BASW program itself is appealing, my admissions experience was unfortunately one of the most difficult I have encountered. After being admitted to EWU, I applied to the BASW program. From that point on, it often felt like the different departments were not communicating with one another. I was told multiple times that my official transcripts had not been received, even though another department had already confirmed they had been received. I found myself repeatedly providing screenshots of emails and confirming information that had already been given to me by EWU staff. The process felt disorganized, and I often had the impression that one department did not know what another department was doing. As a prospective transfer student trying to make an important educational decision, it was frustrating to spend so much time following up on information that should have already been available internally. There were positive experiences along the way. Al A. was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful. Denise A. was also courteous and assisted me with the admissions process. I appreciate the time they took to answer my questions. Unfortunately, those positive interactions were overshadowed by the overall lack of coordination. I never felt confident that my application was moving forward, and because my transcript evaluation continued to be delayed, I ultimately had to withdraw my application to avoid losing my place at another university. I believe EWU has a strong Online BASW program with great potential, but the admissions process would benefit greatly from better communication between departments, more consistent information, and a stronger focus on supporting prospective students. I hope my feedback helps improve the experience for future applicants.

I am in the process of a career transition. Shifting from HR/Recruiting over to Accounting. In…read moremaking this change, I enrolled in the online Master of Professional Accounting program at EWU, which I just completed a couple of months ago. While the EWU campus is in Cheney, the Schools of Business & Accounting operate out of the Catalyst Building in Spokane, which is why I am reviewing the program in this listing. Upon acceptance to this program, an evaluation will be made to determine if you need to complete any prerequisites before starting the regular program. Since my major was not in Accounting, I ended up having to do 5 courses, which equated to about a half year as courses are 6 weeks long and there are two sessions each quarter. In total, it took a little over 2 years to complete all program requirements. There are no set times for each class, so courses are structured for you to go at your own pace and when you have time to complete the coursework. Classes typically had a discussion post due mid-week and homework was due on Sunday. There were also quizzes, exams and final projects for many of the classes that I took. If you can take one more class per session, you will graduate more quickly. However, I would not advise this if you are currently working, as the course load may be too much. Most of the professors are working in other positions during the day and some do not reside in Washington. There seems to be minimal staff at the university, aside from a student advisor. I thought the pace of the classes was manageable for a student new to this field and for someone already working in the field. Though I felt the coursework was primarily theoretical and more geared towards learning the content to pass the CPA exam. I would have liked to have received more of a practical education, where I applied the concepts as they are used in the workplace. The university is in the process of becoming a polytechnic university focused on hands-on learning, which hopefully will address this issue. From a career support perspective, I did not feel the university had sufficient resources. Career services are more geared towards on-campus students, than those online. You can book 1:1 meetings with the staff if you do need help though. I would like to see EWU work with the business community to find internships for their students. Currently, students are responsible for finding their own internships. I do understand EWU is meant to serve the Spokane area community. It would be difficult to find internships for students in other locations, like many of my fellow students were. But I would have considered moving to Spokane for a few months if I knew that I could complete an internship through the university. Overall, I thought the online MPA program was okay. I do think it is better for someone already in the field working and just looking to get the credits needed to take the CPA exam. But for someone needing more support and new to the field of study, I think additional resources are needed to improve the student experience.
