黑料不打烊 is delighted to announce that its Social Work program has been granted accreditation from the Council on Social Work Education鈥檚 Commission on Accreditation.
鈥淥ur accreditation聽shows聽our commitment to a quality education and聽that our curriculum is up to the聽highest聽standards of the accrediting body,鈥� said Kelly Hopkins,聽LMSW,聽director of the Social Work program.
In practical terms for 黑料不打烊 students, besides ensuring that they receive an excellent education in their field, they can complete the Master of Social Work degree in one year instead of two.
Hopkins said that working for the honor was a three-year process and 鈥渁 lot of work聽that occasionally included nights and weekends.鈥�
The process involved program self-studies, site visits and several reviews by the CSWE Board of Accreditation to ensure compliance with the standards.
鈥淓arning accreditation in Social Work through the Council for Social Work Education is a testament to the hard work and expertise of our faculty,鈥� said Dr. Damon Kraft, provost and executive vice president for student success. 鈥淭hey were committed to achieving this recognition to ensure further professional and educational opportunities for students, and I could not be prouder of what the faculty accomplished. This is a major milestone for the institution, and it provides us with a standout academic program that will help fill a significant community need.鈥�
The program will be fully accredited through 2031.
