Erikson Institute Partner Universities MOA
Partner Universities & Employer Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
Erikson Institute shares a common desire with our MOA partners to provide high quality educational opportunities to all populations.
Erikson educates future early childhood teachers, social workers, and other early childhood professionals, instilling our belief that all children deserve equitable access to education, services, and a community that supports their health and emotional well-being.
To ensure that our student body reflects our commitment to equal opportunity for all, Erikson Institute extends a warm welcome to students from select colleges and universities with formal partnerships created via the Erikson Institute MOA (memorandum of agreement) that facilitates advanced study of early childhood education, child development and social work graduate programs.
Each MOA was uniquely created to support incoming students. While some details may vary including degree program, each MOA waives the matriculation fee, expedites applications for admission decisions, and may provide financial assistance for admitted students.
All new students including those from our partners are subject to the Erikson Transfer Credit Policy. For incoming MSW Advanced Standing students from our partner colleges/universities with an accredited BSW program, a course-by-course evaluation has been completed to determine what undergraduate courses and academic programs could be applied to the Erikson MSW. Learn more about eligibility criteria and the potential Erikson courses that could be waived.
