The Hunter College School of Social Work, the oldest publicly sponsored graduate social work program in the City of New York, is among the finest in the nation. Our focus is on excellence in education for social work practice, and our graduates are known for providing leadership in addressing major social problems in our ever changing society. Through its educational programs and all of its activities, the School of Social Work especially seeks to enhance the well-being of poor, vulnerable and stigmatized populations in our society.

Our student body is diverse and mature, and intent on making a difference within our School and in the community. Our students assume an active role in their education at Hunter. They are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for their clients and promoting human rights and social justice in the larger community.

The faculty of the School of Social Work is nationally and internationally known for its teaching, scholarship and contributions to the field of study. They are focused on agency-based social work practice, education of their students, and knowledge-building through research. Faculty members are available to students, supportive of innovation, and active participants in the profession.

The Hunter College School of Social Work graduates social workers who take seriously their responsibility for the common good, who respect the dignity of people in need, and who seek to humanize the help-seeking process.

As one of the nation’s top schools of social work, the Hunter College School of Social Work invites you to consider the challenge we offer and welcomes you to consider our program.
