Council on Social Work Education

Council on Social Work Education

The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is the national association for social work education in the United States of America.

The CSWE sets and maintains standards of courses and accreditation of bachelor's degree's and Master's degree programs in social work.

The CSWE specifies foundation social work program components, but social work specialties areas are defined by the individual accredited MSW programs. "Social work education is grounded in the liberal arts and contains a coherent, integrated professional foundation in social work practice from which an advanced practice curriculum is built at the graduate level." (CSWE, Educational Programs and Accreditation Standards).

For a list of BSW and MSW programs accredited by the Council, visit their web site.
