The abbrevtated advanced-standing program in social work education is evaluated in light of evidence that Bachelor of Social Work as compared to non-Bachelor of Social Work degree applicants are substantially less prepared to pursue graduate studies. Except for a few applicants from prestige colleges, discrepancies between the undergraduate grade potnt average and scores on the Graduate Record Examination and Test of Standard Written English reveal the existence of undergraduate grade inflation in most public and private institutions of higher education. A method for discounting the undergraduate grade point average is presented. Adopting an admissions policy that sets a higher graduate record examination or discounted undergraduate grade point average standard for acceptance into the advanced-standing program is recom mended by virtue of the unavoidable tradeoff between quantity and quality. |
