For many years the College of Social Work has been involved in a variety of international social work activities. Such activities are of growing importance to social work education for a number of reasons. The shrinking of the world requires that social workers have an understanding of social problems, issues, and social structures worldwide. Rapid globalization, facilitated in particular by developments in technology, has enhanced the interconnectedness of people around the world. Our clients come from an increasing number of cultures and, in order to serve them effectively, we need to have an understanding and appreciation of their backgrounds. The importance of international content in social work curricula is so important that the Council of Social Work Education’s Commission on Accreditation has mandated it.
