These institutions were created by the Church and other organizations that supported the Franco regime. To that effect, the paper also provides a brief context of Spain during that period. The article also discusses the importance and impact of Social Work studies once they were officially recognized and later included at the university level. Finally, the paper offers a few reflections on the adaptation of those studies to the European Higher Education Area.
