Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Undergraduate Social Work Program
Assessment Data Collected During Academic Years 2023-2024 & 2024-2025
All Council on Social Work Education programs measure and report student learning outcomes. Students are assessed on their attainment of the competencies that comprise accreditation standards of the Council on Social Work Education (EPAS, 2022). These competencies are dimensions of social work practice that all social workers are expected to attain during their professional training. A measurement benchmark is set by the social work program for each competency. An assessment score at or above that benchmark is considered by the program to represent attainment of that particular competency.
