The Rest of the Story: Baccalaureate Social Work Programs No Longer Accredited

Abstract

In 1979, 274 baccalaureate social work programs were accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Ten years later 34 programs (12.4%) of this group no longer held accredited status. This article presents the results of a study of these schools. Data on each program was acquired through a questionnaire and a review of institutional documents such as catalogs. This article includes demographic patterns of the institutions and programs, the reasons for program termination, present existence of any human service-related program, and future plans of the institution for social work education and accreditation. This information should prove useful to colleges and universities contemplating establishing social work programs and to social work education as a whole.
