Lists of accredited master of social work programs and those in candidacy are provided, with contact information. Appendix C presents the results of a survey of 67 social work programs. For each program the following information is provided: unique aspects, student organizations, tips for applicants, and common mistakes. Clearly, this is a valuable resource for applicants.

A listing of state social work boards and contact info follows. Throughout the Guide to Selecting and Applying to Master of Social Work Programs, Reyes provides substantial advice and tips that re of value to applicants. He ends the volume with several tools for applicants: a tracking sheet to help applicants keep track of all the programs and paperwork involved in graduate admissions, detailed interview tips, and a worksheet to help applicants begin the personal statement. If you're applying to MSW programs, Reyes' Guide to Selecting and Applying to Master of Social Work Programs will quickly become a favorite resource.
