“…Instead, the same search was performed in other health care professions in an attempt to reveal what, if any, comparable studies have been conducted in this area. Within the fields of dentistry (Kanji, Sunell, Boschma, & Craig, 2010), nursing (Kippenbrock, 1990;Meadus, 2000), physiotherapy (Glover, Bulley, & Howden, 2008), physical therapy (Johanson, 2004;Johanson, 2007;Wilcox et al, 2005), social work (Kindle & Colby, 2008), and counseling (Hertlein & Lambert-Shute, 2007), previous research examined what motivated students and why they chose graduate programs. These research articles were also retained to be utilized as a guide for methodology.…”

“…Overall, the findings from these studies were used to aid physical therapy programs in their recruitment of students (Johanson, 2004;Johanson, 2007;Wilcox et al, 2005). Kindle and Colby (2008) studied the graduate school selection preferences of public university and private institution students in Master of Social Work (MSW) programs. With the imbalance between applicants and enrollment, their research focused on exploring the reasons MSW students applied to specific programs.…”

“…In addition, they often attended the same school for their undergraduate degree, and were more concerned with location. Private MSW students were more concerned with reputation of the college/program, submitted more applications, got accepted into more schools, moved further from home, and reported more responses concerning employment (Kindle & Colby, 2008).…”

Athletic training programs that are accredited exhibit quality educational programs. Seegmiller (2006) found curriculum, adequate faculty and administrative staff, research, and clinical experience, were the greatest characteristics of program quality. Despite the stereotype that a Bachelor's in Athletic Training is good enough for athletic trainers and incurring a Master's in Athletic Training was repeating one's undergraduate education, another study dismissed this perception. Henry et al. (2009) found that graduates of PATEPs were generally satisfied with their education and especially the curriculum. Henry

Similar trends are occurring in Australian and US social work education, as universities increasingly adopt a rigid market orientation to tertiary education. This marketisation shapes social work education in manifold ways, including the pressure to increase revenues (and effect greater efficiencies) by expanding the size of social work programs. The unregulated growth in social work programs leads to lowered admission standards, as programs are forced to compete for students. An oversupply of social workers will also drive salaries downwards as supply eclipses demand. These issues are examined in the context of a ''big'' versus a ''small'' (fewer but more highly trained social workers) model of social work. Emphasis is placed on the lessons that Australian social work educators can learn from the challenges facing US social work education.
