The School of Social Welfare prepares students for professional practice in the field of social welfare, from baccalaureate to doctoral levels. We offer an upper-division undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in social work (BSW) which prepares students for entry level professional social work practice. Our graduate program leading to the Master of Social Work (MSW) degree prepares students for advanced social work practice and may be designed to include an area of specialization or a dual degree in social work and law (MSW/JD). The Council on Social Work Education accredits both the BSW and MSW programs of the school, and the New York State Education Department recognizes the MSW program as fulfilling the academic requirements for students to register for the LMSW and LCSW license examinations. The School’s doctoral (PhD) program focuses on policy research, allowing students to pursue this focus in their area of interest within social welfare. The core of the program is education for scholarly research leading to careers as educators, researchers, and policy analysts. We are very proud of the contributions made by our students, faculty and alumni across this country and around the world.
