In early 2007, The Chronicle of Higher Education<\/em> reported that BUSSW faculty are ranked 8th in the in productivity among schools of social work with doctoral programs. BUSSW is the only school of social work in New England to be ranked in the top ten. Comments Dean ad interim<\/em> Gail Steketee, “The productivity ranking means that the School’s faculty are publishing at a high rate as well as receiving numerous journal citations, awards, honors, and grants.” <\/p>\n

In addition, a separate article now has ranked SSW faculty 8th among schools of social work in citations tabulated from articles in top social work journals*. (Once again, BUSSW was the only school of social work in New England to be ranked in the top ten.) The School’s faculty were cited very highly in 960 articles published from 1999 to 2003 in six top social work journals: Journal of Social Service<\/em> Research<\/em>; Social Work<\/em>; Social Service Review<\/em>; Journal of Social Work Education<\/em>; Child Welfare<\/em>; <\/span>and Families in Society<\/em>. BUSSW has climbed substantially in these rankings over the past 25 years, moving from 17th to 8th position. The top 12 rankings of social work programs as reported in the article are:<\/p>\n
