Abstract
The Curriculum Policy Statement of the Council on Social Work Education provides the Commission on Accreditation with the substantive base to measure a school's performance. Policy Statement revisions have sought to maintain relevance of curriculum content to changing practice, seeking concurrently to simplify, integrate, and systematize a unified, coherent master's degree core curriculum. The intention has been to produce a professional prepared to practice in a range of programs, and address a variety of problems using appropriate methods. This paper considers one of the central issues addressed by the Curriculum Committee responsible for the preparation of the most recent Policy Statement, namely, the major categories utilized to designate curriculum areas, and suggests criteria for evaluating their relevance.
