Overview

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

Quick Facts:

Extended immersion in Shanghai and New York allows students to critically reflect on cultural, social, and economic similarities and differences between these two environments, and it enhances their learning about and capacity for culturally appropriate practice. Students also participate in a total of 1200 hours of field learning experience.
All courses will be taught in English. In Shanghai, students will have their field placements at local social service agencies and hospitals. These placements will be in either Chinese or English, depending on a student’s language capability. In New York, students will have their field placements in the greater New York metropolitan area, where a wide variety of agency settings are available. This field placement will be at a site where English is the primary language.
