The Enhancement Seminar Model as a Strategy to Promote Diversity and Student Success in MSW Programs
Watson, Larry D.; Rycraft, Joan R.
Journal of Social Work Education, v46 n1 p123-131 Win 2010
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an enhancement program by examining a cohort of 57 students admitted on probationary status to an MSW program in 2002 and required to participate in the enhancement program. The demographics for students admitted on probation demonstrate that the program is effective in increasing the diversity of the student body and that students admitted on probation were very successful in the MSW program when compared to the cohort of 167 students admitted unconditionally. (Contains 6 tables.)
