Unlike other disciplines, social work has made accreditation decisions about undergraduate and graduate programs independent of licensure examination pass rates of graduates. While education, regulation, and practice are heralded as the three pillars of social work, there have been few meaningful linkages between them. Despite recognition that licensure impacts employment opportunities and salaries of social workers, the academy has been resistant to bridge the divide between educational assessment and licensure outcomes, resulting in hardship for some graduates. Students choose social work programs without knowing whether their education is adequate to pass “high stakes” licensure exams. In an era of greater accountability, and questions about the value of higher education, making licensure examination pass rates public and linking them to decisions when accrediting programs, seems prudent. However, this policy shift would likely change market demands and the stability of accreditation decisions enjoyed by social work programs to date.
