ABSTRACT
This article describes a national survey of program directors in December 2017 at 257 master of social work programs accredited by the Council on Social Work Education regarding the inclusion of religion and spirituality (RS) content in their curricula. A total of 104 MSW programs responded, yielding a 40.5% response rate. Of the 98 programs indicating whether their program offers a specific course on RS, 36 (36.7%) reportedly offer a RS course. Furthermore, RS content was often infused across the curricula, with the most popular content areas being human behavior and the social environment, clinical practice courses, and the field seminar. Implications and recommendations to help support MSW program administrators incorporate RS content into their curriculum are discussed.
