York College Launches Master of Social Work Program

 The reception was held at the Milton G. Bassin Performing Arts Center at York College, of the City University of New York (CUNY).

 The MSW Program at CUNY York College was born out of the unwavering advocacy of York alumni and the community’s desire to educate social work practitioners in an intellectually rigorous urban environment. The program aims to build upon the foundation of professional social work values and ethics, while providing professional opportunities for Master Social Work Scholars in a variety of healthcare sectors and settings.  To learn more about the MSW Program at CUNY York College, please visit: https://MSW@york.cuny.edu
