Pupil Services License in School Social Work

PROGRAM UPDATE as of May 13, 2026:

This academic program is no longer admitting new students as a major at Ä¢¹½TVÏÂÔØ.

While students may no longer apply to earn a degree in this specific program, coursework in this subject area will continue to play an important role across other academic programs and interdisciplinary learning opportunities at BW. Current students enrolled in the major will continue to receive full support through completion of their degree requirements.

Ä¢¹½TVÏÂÔØremains committed to providing students with a strong, future-focused education that connects disciplines, expands opportunities, and prepares graduates to be Leader-Ready, Career-Ready, and Future-Ready.


Ä¢¹½TVÏÂÔØ participates in a cooperative program with that enables social workers to add the Pupil Services License in School Social Work to their professional credentials by enrolling in three graduate education courses at Baldwin Wallace. This program is one of only three Chancellor-approved programs within the state to lead to the Ohio Pupil Services License.  

This cooperative partnership is available to licensed social workers who already hold a professional social work license and graduated from CWRU Mandel School holding an MSSA/MSW degree, or from a CSWE-accredited graduate social work program with a direct practice MSW or equivalent.

Candidates who already hold an MSW will be assessed for eligibility to determine whether their coursework meets approval for enrollment in the school social work curriculum at BW.

Enrollment requires joint approval from the CWRU Mandel School and BW, as described in the application process. Once approved, students enroll in three graduate courses at Ä¢¹½TVÏÂÔØ. View course schedule. 

Upon completion of all program requirements, students send their Ä¢¹½TVÏÂÔØtranscript to CWRU to become eligible to apply for a pupil services license in school social work from the Ohio Department of Education.
