The Annual Survey of Social Work Programs (Annual Survey) is a census of social work programs in the United States and its territories conducted by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) since 1952. Data collected in the Annual Survey are the primary source of information about social work students, graduates, and faculty members. In addition to advancing knowledge about social work education, the data are used to determine program membership dues for accredited baccalaureate and master's programs. The 2015 Annual Survey was composed of five survey sections that gathered data on baccalaureate programs, master's programs, practice doctorate programs (social work doctoral degree other than research-focused PhD), PhD programs, and faculty members. The program sections included items on program structure, enrollments, program offerings, and degrees awarded. The faculty section collected demographic information and information about academic rank and professional education of full-time and part-time faculty members; it also requested information about administrative titles and tenure status of full-time faculty members. The survey was administered online through the survey platform, Zarca Interactive. From November 23-24, 2015, invitations to the survey were e-mailed to all CSWE-accredited social work programs and to doctoral social work programs housed at institutions with CSWE-accredited social work programs. The 2015 Annual Survey closed in March 2016.
