Additionally, EWU is working toward becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). The School of Social Work is a part of the College of Professional Programs, which offers opportunities for creative interdisciplinary teaching and research. The School of Social Work includes both MSW and BASW social work programs. In addition to programs in social work, the School includes Addiction Studies, Disability Studies, Children’s Studies, and Aging Studies.

Social Work courses are offered in person in Cheney and Spokane. We also have part-time hybrid MSW programs based in Spokane and Everett, WA. Responsibilities: Successful candidates will have teaching responsibilities in the Addiction Studies, BASW, and MSW programs. The faculty member is expected to teach courses at the undergraduate and the graduate levels. The teaching assignments will include online, hybrid, and in-person.
