CSWE Research and Statistics

The CSWE organizational mission includes the charge to advocate for social work education and research. CSWE's understands the need for research to inform policy and practice and to serve the needs of CSWE member programs—their deans, directors, faculty members, and students. The CSWE Commission on Research (COR) and CSWE research staff work to serve that need. 

Each year, CSWE conducts the Annual Program Survey of Social Work Programs which collects valuable data on social work education and programs. 

The CSWE Commission on Research developed research priorities with input from the CSWE commissions and councils to guide their work; they will report on progress periodically.
