CSWE

The MSW Program at CUNY York College is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education’s (CSWE) Board of Accreditation (BOA) through 2033.

Accreditation of a baccalaureate or master’s 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 sections of the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS).

Accreditation provides reasonable assurance about the quality of the program and the competence of students graduating from the program.

CSWE’s Board of Accreditation is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as the sole accrediting agency for social work education in the United States and its territories.
