Fellowship programs accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)’s Board of Accreditation (BOA) provide training and supervision to master’s-level social work practitioners within one or more defined areas of social work practice.
The Fellowship Review Committee (FRC) serves as the primary review body for fellowship programs seeking initial or continued accreditation and is responsible for making accreditation decision recommendations to the BOA.
Are you interested in accrediting your post-master's social work fellowship program?
Please reach out to [email protected] with questions or to schedule a consultation. In addition, existing or developing fellowship programs are asked to complete the Post-Master’s Social Work Fellowship Program Database Record Form. This will allow CSWE to have accurate details regarding social work fellowship programs and up-to-date records so we may communicate important updates.
