About the Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Education Program Directors

Our Mission 
The Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors, Inc. is an association of BSW Program Administrators, Faculty, Field Directors, and others dedicated to the promotion of excellence in baccalaureate social work education.

Our History
BPD began over twenty years ago when a small group of BSW program directors met together to discuss concerns and issues surrounding baccalaureate social work education.  Sincethat time we have grown into a vibrant organization with over four hundred members from institutions across the United States.  We continue to adovcate for baccalaureate social work education and offer one of the best social work conferences available today.
