Programs range from fully online to hybrid where students have to meet on campus periodically. Current literature suggests this shift towards online learning will continue. Online Education in Social Work

7 LOUISVILLE.EDU Admission Information Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher learning A minimum 27 credit hours in social sciences, i.e. communications (6), natural sciences (3), humanities (9), and A minimum of 3 credit hours in each of the following prerequisite courses: statistics, research methods, and human biology. 3 letters of recommendation Prospective students with less than 2.75 GPA must take the GRE or MAT.

10 LOUISVILLE.EDU Biglan Classification (1973) Categorization of academic areas as either hard or soft. Hard : more science-oriented areas with an agreed upon body of theory. Categorization of academic areas as either applied or pure. Undergraduate Major Type

11 LOUISVILLE.EDU Carnegie Center Classification (updated 2010) Utilized the basic classification system. Institutions were categorized by type: Doctoral/research university Master’s colleges and universities Baccalaureate Colleges Specialized institutions Tribal colleges and universities Undergraduate Institution

12 LOUISVILLE.EDU California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) Multiple choice test geared towards measuring the core reasoning skills of students. Provides an overall score and scores in 5 sub areas. Subscales include: Analysis Inference Evaluation Deduction Induction Students at Kent School take the CCTST before beginning the program and upon completion of program. Critical Thinking Skills

13 LOUISVILLE.EDU CSWE competencies A mean score was calculated for the combination of all competencies. Competencies are measured through rubric scores, practicum evaluations and through self- efficacy assessments. Cumulative GPA Average grade point average for graduate courses taken at Kent School. CCTST Post-scores Outcome Variables

20 LOUISVILLE.EDU Structure of the Program Alignment between on-campus and online course curriculum Instructor Factor Majority of the online instructors have taught the same courses on-campus. Majority of sequences have a senior instructor teaching online. Increases quality control and integrity of social work online programs (Reamer, 2013) Implications
