Accreditation
Both the undergraduate (BSSW) and the graduate (MSW) degrees are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The BSSW program has been continuously accredited since 1974. The MSW program received its first accreditation by CSWE in November 2000. Students graduating from an accredited BSSW program may be admitted to most graduate schools with advanced standing.
