Department of Social Work

The Department of Social Work offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree, which prepares students for entry-level generalist urban practice and provides a local and global context for understanding and addressing the experiences of people and societies. The department also offers a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, which focuses on generalist practice in the first year and a healthcare specialization in the advanced year.

The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) initially accredited the Bachelor of Science (Social Work Program) in 1985 and the Master of Social Work (MSW) Program at CUNY York College in 2018. The Council for Higher Education Accreditation recognizes CSWE’s Board of Accreditation (BOA) as the sole accrediting agency for social work education in the United States and its territories.
