Assessment

The Social Work Department is accredited by the National Council on Social Work Education through 2006. Our most recent accreditation examination, including self-study and site visit, was 1998-1999. The program was approved for reaccreditation by the Council in the Fall of 1999. Evidence that the Social Work program is meeting its goals and objectives includes passage rates for State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure. Over the last three years, 100% of the students who completed the social work licensure exam passed the exam. The program regularly surveys senior field instructors who have supervised our students. We are pleased to report that these practicing social workers rate our students very highly, and are enthusiastic about supervising our students and hiring our graduates. Finally, our program polls graduates at regular intervals. Based on this data, we can assert that 100% of students seeking a social work position upon graduation are placed in a position within three months. In 2001 the Social Work Department began using a nationally standardized assessment program which will give data on acquisition of ethical principles over time and will eventually poll social work employers about graduate performance, among other functions.
