What is CSWE?

The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is a national association that preserves and enhances the quality of social work education for practice and promotes the goals of individual and community well-being and social justice. CSWE pursues this mission through setting and maintaining policy and program standards in social work education programs, accrediting bachelor's and master's degree programs in social work, promoting research and faculty development, and advocating for social work education. Skidmore College's Social Work Proggram has been accredited by CSWE since 1981. For more information, see the organization's website. The CSWE website contains information about accredited graduate programs across the country and is a useful resource.
