The Bryn Mawr Continuing Education Programs are a demonstration of the commitment of the Graduate School of Social work and Social Research to provide professional social workers with challenging educational opportunities designed to meet the needs of master's degree and BSW level practitioners in a variety of settings. Because the School encourages participation at all junctures of the educational experience, continuing education faculty incorporate both didactic and experiential learning.
All seminars reflect the values which define the ethical foundation of our profession.
The Pennsylvania Board of Social Work Examiners requires licensed social workers to complete thirty clock hours of continuing education in each two-year period to be eligible for license renewal. The subject matter must enhance the social worker's knowledge and practice skills to help people achieve adequate and productive personal, interpersonal, and social adjustments in their individual lives, in their families and in their communities. Accredited schools of social work are approved continuing education providers. Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Documentation of attendance is required by many states, including Pennsylvania.
