Abstract
This article reports on a study of a 20 percent sample of BSW and MSW program curricula based on self-reports, which revealed a large variation in quantity and content in each of the major curricula areas within and across levels. There was internal lack of integration and consistency in approach. Discontinuity existed between the BSW and MSW levels rather than a nonredundant educational continuum. BSW programs all offered “generic” practice, which often seemed to be largely casework, and MSW programs offered a vast array of practice formulations. Desirability and policy options are discussed, as are data on host setting, faculty, and students.
