Program Assessment Outcomes

Measuring What Matters

The Loma Linda University Department of Social Work and Social Ecology views program assessment as an essential component of the Doctor of Social Work (DSW) program. Faculty use course assignments, the applied doctoral project, and other assessment measures to evaluate students' attainment of the program's core expertise and skills in alignment with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Accreditation Standards for Practice Doctorate Social Work Programs. Each year, DSW faculty review assessment data and prepare a Program Assessment and Continuous Improvement Report to evaluate program effectiveness, inform curricular improvements, and support continuous quality improvement. This ongoing process helps ensure that graduates are prepared to provide advanced clinical leadership in behavioral health systems with rigor, integrity, and a commitment to whole person care.
