CSWE Accreditation

The Master of Social Work (MSW) program at Park University earned full re-affirmation of accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Commission on Accreditation (COA) in Spring 2019.

The CSWE Board of Accreditation (CSWE-BOA), formerly CSWE Commission on Accreditation, is recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) to confer accreditation status to baccalaureate and master’s social work degree programs in the U.S.

All CSWE programs measure and report student learning outcomes. Students are assessed on their mastery of the competencies which comprise the accreditation standards of the CSWE.

These competencies are dimensions of social work practice which all social workers are expected to master during their professional training. A measurement benchmark is set by the social work programs for each competency. An assessment score at or above that benchmark is considered by the program to represent mastery of that particular competency.

The MSW program at Park University sets its benchmark at 80%, therefore, the data illustrates the percentage of students that met this benchmark.
