Overview

The Social Work program from NYU Shanghai consists of a generalist practice curriculum in Shanghai followed by a specialized practice curriculum in clinical social work in New York City.

Key facts:

The MSW at Shanghai and New York program is designed for students of any nationality who desire a truly global social work education. Global and multi-cultural content is infused throughout the curriculum.
Shanghai field placements not only feature bilingual (English and Mandarin) opportunities, but they also provide a focus on emerging social issues in China today.
