A part of the answer to this depends a bit on what in social work you want to focus on. For example if you are interested in ego-based psychothearapy I would suggest smith college, if you are interested in progressive social work I would suggest University of VT or Portland State. If you are looking at administration and policy I would look at University of Chicago and Berkley. Now if you are interested in top rated schools (which are often about the quality of faculty productivity. Then University of Washington, Washington University, Berkley, Columbia often rise to the top. Columbia often has a strong rep because of its age and being the only IVY. In general programs connected to research one schools (those that grant PhD's) will be better than those in traditionally undergrad programs.
