The Social Work program at Providence College is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the professional body recognized by the Council for Higher Education as the sole accrediting body for baccalaureate and master level social work education programs in the United States.

Our accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) assures you that the professional education that you are receiving meets the rigorous standards of the profession. Graduation from a CSWE accredited program gives you a competitive edge in the job market, allows you to be considered for advanced standing in graduate social work programs, and qualifies you to sit for licensure exams in those states that license at the baccalaureate level.

In 2004 the program received reaffirmation of its accreditation (CSWE) for a full eight-year cycle.
