Master en Travail Social

NYU Silver offers outstanding training in clinical social work practice with a social justice perspective. A focus on research-informed, direct practice with individuals, groups, and families runs through the entire Master of Social Work curriculum. We also offer opportunities to study policy and community practice as well as global social work, with opportunities to study abroad. Our faculty includes leading scholars who are creating new knowledge that social workers will use throughout their careers.

The MSW degree is attainable through a variety of full-time and part-time/full-time pathways. Four dual-degree program options are also available in the areas of child development, public health, law, and public administration.

The Silver School’s MSW program is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). In accordance with CSWE accreditation standards, student learning outcomes are measured on a regular basis. You can review the most recent learning outcomes. Graduates have a strong track record of success in passing the New York State licensing exam at both the entry level and the advanced clinical level.

The social work profession embodies and enacts the highest and most humane of all ideals: the promotion of human compassion and the advancement of social justice, especially in partnership with and on behalf of those most marginalized and vulnerable. It is driven by powerful intentions, a human touch, and is rooted in theory, knowledge, experience, data, and evidence.

At NYU Silver, we uphold and promote the core values enumerated in the National Association of Social Workers code of ethics: service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. We intensively educate our students, nurturing in them rigorous professionalism and imparting skills that equip them to promote deeper growth for those they serve, and to spark authentic, enduring change in our complex world.
