Social Work Accreditation, Assessment, and Resources
Accreditation and Assessment Overview of Malone University’s Social Work Program
Accreditation of a baccalaureate 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.
The Social Work Program at Malone University was developed in 1978. Initial accreditation from the Council on Social Work Education was received in 1982 with full accreditation in 1984. It has been continuously accredited since that time having completed successful reaffirmations in 1992, 2001, and 2016. The program has now been reaffirmed by the Council on Social Work Education until the year 2024.
