Abstract
Social work education has experienced considerable change in its educational forms and practices in recent years as it has responded to the nation's varying social service manpower requirements. One significant area of this change has been the emergence of baccalaureate degree social work programs. This article describes the impact of BSW programs on the traditional educational model of master's degree programs, noting the curricular changes that graduate schools have instituted in order to accommodate the increasing number of BSW graduates seeking admission to MSW programs.
