How We Got Started
The Jones International University (Englewood) online baccalaureate social work program, in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, has been granted Initial Accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Commission on Accreditation (COA). The CSWE COA granted the accreditation based on the social work program’s application. The accreditation period is through October 2029 and requires a progress report to be reviewed by the CSWE COA.
JIU is the pioneer in online learning. Our founder, Glenn R. Jones, has devoted much of his life to his passionately held belief that education should be available to everyone, everywhere.
In the nascence of the Internet, Jones foresaw the potential and started JIU in 1993 – the first university anywhere to exist completely online. Despite the naysayers, Jones knew in his heart that this was the future of education. So it was with great pride that in 1999 JIU became the first fully online university in the U.S. to be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools . Since then, we have continued to develop and expand our degree programs – all of which are designed to meet the needs of busy professionals eager to shape their futures.
