Overview

Disabilities is defined broadly to include developmental, intellectual, physical, sensory, psychiatric, chronic health, age-related, alcohol and drug use, and any other impairment.

Social work is a profession that strives to create a just and equitable world for the future of humanity. Guided by a code of ethics, social work is committed to ending oppression, embracing diversity, and ensuring that individuals, communities, and organizations function at an optimal level.

Key Features

The Social Work program at The City University of New York is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and guided by the State of New York Education Department.

The curriculum combines both generalist practice courses and an area of specialization in either: (1) disability studies: clinical practice; or (2) disability studies: macro practice. The two areas of specialization are distinguished from each other by four specific courses that focus either on clinical social work or on macro social work practice.
