PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Ask for the BSW admission and degree requirements, including any application needed before field education.
Your complete timeline
Pacific’s Claire Argow program offers a BSW in Forest Grove and separate MSW routes. The undergraduate award is distinct from both the graduate and advanced-standing options. Ask for a term-by-term plan that includes prerequisites, transfer decisions and application timing.
Plan around the schedule
Confirm the timing, location and supervision of BSW field education in addition to campus courses.
Application and selection
Ask for the BSW admission and degree requirements, including any application needed before field education. Check the current first-year or transfer admission requirements and whether the major or practical placement has a separate application.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
How are undergraduate field placements arranged, and what would qualify me for later advanced-standing MSW study?
- What is included in the written price, and what would I pay separately?
- What support is available if my work schedule, disability accommodations or family responsibilities affect attendance?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
A BSW can support entry into nonclinical social services. Independent clinical practice requires additional preparation and licensure; an undergraduate award is not a therapy license.
Cost and outcomes
Published base; complete personal budget still needed
Add program-specific fees, books, tools or supplies, exams, prerequisite study, travel and living expenses to the published base below. Your final cost depends on your course plan and financial aid.
Published tuition or budget base
The College of Undergraduate Studies lists $60,100 in tuition and fees for 2026-27. Books, supplies, housing, meals and personal expenses are additional. This is one academic year's published price before financial aid, not the full degree price.
Official tuition and cost information ↗ · Checked September 16, 2026
