After extensive consultation, our faculty designed a five-consecutive-term program for international students who are pursuing higher degrees in social work but are unfamiliar with the U.S. social welfare system.
Called the International Students Program (ISP), it offers international students an opportunity to get up to speed on the special features of U.S. social services, and improve and enhance their English skills, before beginning their field education. As a member of the International Students Program (ISP), you’ll receive an introduction to social work practice in the United States—including the organizational structures and operation of American social service agencies—and learn about a variety of social welfare issues in this country.
