Overview

The Social Work program from the Long Island University (LIU) has all the essentials for an exciting academic experience, which will enhance your professional career.

Key facts

The curriculum is carefully constructed to lead to specialized practice in one of five areas: Substance Use and Addictive Behaviors, Child and Family Welfare, Forensic Social Work, Gerontology, and Nonprofit Management. The collaborative program combines the resources of LIU’s two main campuses, in Brooklyn and Brookville.

The LIU Brooklyn campus is conveniently located in a bustling part of New York City. The LIU Post campus, in Brookville, New York, on the other hand, is situated on a beautiful and sprawling campus, in suburban Long Island. The collaborative program utilizes a coalition of LIU personnel and faculty from both campuses.

Field work in varied settings – including schools, homeless shelters, child and family counseling centers, senior citizen facilities, substance abuse clinics and social service agencies- enhances academic learning and allows you to make a positive impact on society.

Accreditation

All undergraduate and graduate programs at LIU Post are registered with the New York State Education Department and accredited by the Commission of Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
