Abstract
This paper examines the status of social work research couse content at the undergraduate level. In the study reported, 131 accredited BSW social work programs were surveyed with the intent of clarifying the focus of their research curricula. The authors' findings suggest that guidelines for research content should be more specific. More critically, however, the authors see a need for the integration of research content with the entire social work curriculum, since the utilization of research has implications for the development of social work theory and practice as well as for purposes of accountability in the field.
