The assessment plan design includes student learning measurement of each of the nine social work competencies at the BSSW, M.S.W. Generalist, Advanced Integrated Practice (AIP) and Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) levels.
...
The School has developed benchmarks for each outcome measure, as outlined in the assessment plan. The program determines the percentage of students that attained the benchmark for each outcome measure and then averages the field and course-embedded measure percentages together to obtain the percentage of students demonstrating overall competence. The program then determines whether this percentage is above or below the competency benchmark. The competency benchmark for BSSW students is eighty-five percent and for M.S.W. students is ninety percent. To review past and current learning outcomes view the Historical CSWE Data Reports section.
