Abstract
Results from an evaluation study of a new master’s program in social work are described. The paper focuses upon the interaction between program goals that are conceived in terms of (1) the need to train social work students in the “Generalist sequence” in three methods of social work, and (2) the need to prepare students who could address the problems of disorganized urban communities, and the 5-year process of operationalizing these goals. The program had only mixed success in realizing its aims.
