The educational program adopted at Adelphi University School of Social Work provides students interested in obtaining the master's degree in social work with an opportunity to accelerate their professional education. As undergraduate students they can elect to major in social welfare, and if they do, some courses usually available only to graduate students will be open to them. They can also earn credits for their field work experience. Once they receive their baccalaureate degree, a number of them are admitted to the accelerated graduate program, which initially consists of enrollment in a summer session at the school of social work. At the completion of this program the students enter the school as second-year students. The accelerated students were found to catch up to the traditional students after the summer experience. Reports are included in this evaluation of changes in students' knowledge, values and skill; their educational background and practice skill one year after graduation; coping with their feelings of inferiority; and social constraints affecting the interpretation of the findings in evaluative studies.
