California Schools of Social Work have formidable challenges in meeting the needs of the state for competent social workers in the field of aging. The goals of the Aging Initiative University Survey were: 1) to describe the current status of social work education in aging within the curriculum in California Schools of Social Work; 2) to provide baseline data for CalSWEC to use in assessing the level of competency-based social work in aging curriculum for both infusion and aging specialization; 3) to provide data for comparison of social work in aging in California with national surveys. The sample was composed of all 17 social work (SW) programs (2 private and 15 public) in California. For full report, see the CalSWEC website: http://calswec.berkeley.edu/
