Abstract

This article compares 49 colleges and universities in mainland China on the level of social work education, department and school affiliation, and duration of the program. Findings indicate great diversity in all 3 categories. Bachelor’s degrees of social work are offered in 83.3% of the programs, and 38.8% of the programs offer master’s degrees. Department affiliation varies, with only 42.7% having an independent department or school of social work. Most social work programs were started after 2000. This review indicates a rapid growth in social work education in mainland China. However, the lack of advanced degrees and standardized affiliations may hide the effect and the image of the programs.
