School of Social Work Accreditation

Rhode Island College’s BSW and MSW programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education’s Board of Accreditation.

Understanding Accredited Programs

Accreditation of a baccalaureate or master’s social work program by the Council on Social Work Education’s Board of Accreditation indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of program quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited program has sufficient resources to meet its mission and goals and the Board of Accreditation has verified that it demonstrates compliance with all sections of the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards.  
 
Accreditation applies to all program sites and program delivery methods of an accredited program. Accreditation provides reasonable assurance about the quality of the program and the competence of students graduating from the program.

Licensing Exam Pass Rates

The passing rates of licensing exams of graduates of the MSW program at Rhode Island College can always be accessed via the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB).
