Terms of Service
Last updated: July 17, 2026
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using bswdegree.org, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the site.
Educational Purpose Only
The content on this site is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not professional, financial, or admissions advice, and it should not be treated as a substitute for guidance from a school counselor, financial aid officer, or admissions representative. Always verify program details directly with the institutions you're considering before making any enrollment or financial decisions.
Data Accuracy
The figures and profiles on this site are derived from public data sources, including IPEDS/NCES, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). These sources are updated on their own schedules and can lag real-time changes, so the numbers shown here may differ from an institution's current, official figures. We make no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data presented on this site.
Rankings Methodology
Any rankings published on this site are our own composite calculations, built from the public data sources described above and fully explained on our methodology page. These rankings reflect our editorial opinions about how programs compare on the factors we measure — they are not endorsements, certifications, or guarantees from any accrediting body or institution.
Sponsored Listings
Some pages on this site include widgets that display sponsored programs from education partners. These sponsored listings are clearly presented as separate from our editorial data and rankings, and their presence never affects the underlying figures or analysis we publish.
Intellectual Property
The site's design, editorial content, and the way we compile and present data are our intellectual property. The underlying government data we draw from — IPEDS, BLS, and similar public sources — remains in the public domain and is not owned by us.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to scrape or crawl this site at abusive rates that could degrade its performance for other users, and not to misrepresent our content as an institution's own official information. Please use the site in a manner consistent with its purpose as an independent informational resource.
Limitation of Liability
This site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any decisions made, or actions taken, in reliance on the information presented here.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time as the site evolves. Continued use of the site after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
