The Department of Social Work is committed to assessment of the competencies of both the B.S.W. and M.S.W. Programs. The department considers assessment to be an ongoing and integral part of academic life. The department conducts assessments that measure the competencies of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
The Department of Social Work uses multiple measures in assessing student achievement
of competencies. The department is committed to measuring academic success through
the lens of students, practicum / field instructors, and professors. The current measures
include: embedded measures, practicum / field evaluations, and self-efficacy reports.
The Department of Social Work conducts assessment throughout the academic year. At the end of the year the Assessment Coordinator, along with the entire committee, analyze the data and produce a written report. Findings from the report are shared and discussed at the annual Department Retreat in August. The reports are then submitted to both the College of Arts and Sciences and the Council on Social Work Education as evidence of academic success and meeting accreditation standards.
