Contrasting Extremes in Research Requirements for the MSW Curriculum

Pages 56-61 | Published online: 10 Jan 2014
 

Abstract

A comparative analysis is presented that contrasts accredited schools of social work with both the “highest” and “lowest” levels of formal research requirements in the MSW curriculum. Associated characteristics are identified—notably size of school—that appear to be inversely related to level of research requirement. Interpretations and implications of these relationships, and of the wide extremes in research expectations are explored.
