The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) has identified nine core competencies that all social work students are expected to achieve before completing their BSW degree. We have selected two that we would like for you to address. In each case, we have provided CSWE’s description of the competency. You do not need to address every part of CSWE’s descriptions in your essays; they are provided simply to help you to better understand the competency in social work practice. In addition, we have included a third essay that is based on the social work department’s professional standards document.
Each of the three essays should be approximately 2-3 pages long, double spaced, in Times New Roman 12 point font with I” margins.
