The Social Work Program at The College of New Rochelle emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and ways of thinking about people and their problems within a societal and cultural context.
Students have the opportunity to interact with practitioners from the field and social work alumnae.
Visits to local social service agencies enhance classroom learning. Techniques like role-plays and simulations strengthen skills learning. The Social Work Program consists of courses in methods of social work practice, social welfare policy and services, human development and behavior, and research. The program is integrated with a core of liberal arts courses in physical and behavioral sciences and humanities. To enhance job potential after college, social work majors are encouraged to study Spanish.
