ACU Social Work Students Shine

Students from the new MSSW program scored in the top 15% of social work students nationally on the Area Concentration Achievement Test (ACAT) recently. The ACAT is a standardized exam designed to measure learning outcomes for the eight foundation content areas required by the Council on Social Work Education. Stephanie Daniel took top individual honors, ranking in the top 5% of all social work students in the United States.

At the undergraduate level, BSSW graduates from the class of 2008 continue the tradition of gaining admission to some of the nations best graduate social work programs. This years graduates will attend such prestigious schools as  Washington University, the University of Texas and Georgia State University.  

 

Not all of ACU's brightest and best BSSW students leave Abilene to attend graduate school. Several top graduates from our baccalaureate social work program will remain at ACU to join students from universities such as Baylor and the University of Texas as a part of the School of Social Work's inaugural Advanced Standing MSSW class, scheduled to begin in July.

 

"We are extremely proud of the accomplishments of our students," said Dr. Paul Ammons, Director of the ACU School of Social Work. "Our faculty and staff work very hard to provide students with a first rate educational experience in a distinctive Christian environment and these achievements provide tangible evidence of their success."
