Abstract

The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work program has approximately 200 majors; it has been accredited since 1976. The Master of Social Work program has approximately 42 students; it graduated its first class in 2002 and received retroactive accreditation in 2003. Each program underwent a self-study that addressed the standards defined by the accrediting body; and had anon-site visit by peer evaluators. The programs were accredited for the maximum period of eight years. There were three concerns identified by the visiting team but an interim report was not required. This report addresses the Board’s Strategic Plan objective to “offer high-quality programs through ongoing program improvement for undergraduate, graduate, professional, and non-degree students and special school students.”
