Overview

The Fellowship Review Committee (FRC) serves as the primary review body for post-master’s social work fellowship programs seeking initial or continued accreditation and is responsible for making accreditation decision recommendations to the CSWE Board of Accreditation (BOA). As post-master’s social work fellowship programs are practice-based and not degree programs at universities or colleges, the FRC is comprised of social work educators and practitioners which ensures a peer-review based accreditation process for these practice-based programs.  

For more information on the policies, roles, and expectations of site visitors, please review the Fellowship Review Committee Info Sheet.
