Curriculum Evaluation Educational Assessment Faculty Graduate Study Higher Education Mental Health Workers Program Effectiveness Program Evaluation Social Work Social Workers Undergraduate Study This review of graduate and undergraduate social work degree programs in the State University System of Florida (SUS) focuses on quality of curriculum, composition and caliber of students and faculty, nature and adequacy of facilities and resources, and overall progress of social work education since the previous program review in 1988. Florida State University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, University of South Florida, Florida Atlantic University, University of West Florida, University of Central Florida, and Florida International University house the social work programs which are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Each school and department has specified its educational objectives carefully and each attempts to asses its outcomes systematically. The following state-wide concerns surfaced during the review: (1) almost all programs need additional full time faculty; (2) institutional culture that promotes research and scholarship seems to be absent; (3) resources for office and classroom space, support staff, library acquisitions, faculty travel, and office equipment were grossly inadequate at a number of institutions; (4) without a firm commitment of additional resources it would be inadvisable to start new degree programs; and (5) the SUS institutions should also address the issue of faculty benefits and autonomy.
