Social Work
Assessment for 2005-2006:
Student outcome assessment data for the Social Work Program indicated that the four goals of the program are met. Results of four different measures of student performance indicated that the cohort of students completing the 2005-2006 professional block were prepared with the necessary cognitive knowledge, emotional and personal insight, and behavioral skills to claim preparation as a generalist social worker according to the standards of the Council on Social Work Education. Evidence from this assessment also indicates that the cohort of students is exceptionally well prepared when compared to their academic peers nationally.
In an atmosphere of continuous improvement, program administrators are currently developing strategies to assess the experiences of students as they graduate and experience market realities. Future student outcome assessment processes will explore the link between exceptionally strong academic preparation already evidenced, with new observations of licensure, employment and graduate school opportunities not yet directly measured.
