Accreditation
The School of Social Work at Western Michigan University is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education’s (CSWE) Board of Accreditation (BOA).
Accreditation of a social work program by the BOA indicates that it meets or exceeds standards of program quality evaluated through a peer review accreditation process. An accredited program has sufficient resources to meet its mission and goals, and the BOA has verified that it demonstrates compliance with all accreditation standards.
Accreditation applies to all program options, which include locations and delivery methods.
Accreditation provides reasonable assurance about the quality of the program and the competence of students graduating from the program.
