The
Hunter College School of Social Work, established
in 1958, offers several pathways leading to
the master of social work degree. The M.S.W.
program is accredited by the Council on Social
Work Education. The primary goal of the program
is to prepare students for responsible, advanced,
and creative practice in social work. As a public
graduate school of social work in New York City,
the School recognizes a special responsibility
toward serving the urban community under social
agency auspices.
The
School of Social Work adheres to the principle
that education for social work proceeds from
a common core of values and knowledge incorporated
into social work practice. The School aims to
bring into the profession graduates who are
able to make responsible decisions and value
choices in a rapidly changing society. The M.S.W.
curriculum at the Hunter College School of Social
Work reflects a commitment to social change,
diversity, and practice in the urban environment.
The School of Social Work has strong ties to
many social agencies which provide students
with rich field placements in a variety of practice
areas. Qualified agency staff serve as student
field instructors. Social work students are
encouraged to participate actively with faculty
and administration in policy formulation, curriculum
development, and review of student performance.
