The document summarizes the results of a survey of 515 deans and directors of social work programs about their inclusion of international content in the curriculum. It finds that most programs offer either a specific international social work course (61% at the BSW level) or infuse international content into other required courses like policy and HBSE. Over half of programs provide opportunities for international field placements and study abroad experiences for students. Respondents felt strongly that including international content is important for social work education.
