Thank you for your interest in our social work program at Nyack College. Do you enjoy helping out people in need? Are you interested in understanding people, their environment, and the dynamic relationships between them? Do you like to work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities? If so, then social work may be the career that you are looking for, and we are here to help you become a professional social worker. Our social work program is the only undergraduate social work program in New York which is accredited by the CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) and offered in a Christian Context.

 

 Social workers serve diverse people who are vulnerable, disadvantaged, and/or oppressed. It is an exciting mission since it is what the Scripture has commissioned us to do.  But it is also a challenging task that demands us to be equipped with knowledge, values, and skills, and it requires us to examine and accept ourselves in order to become effective and ethical social workers. The education and training that you receive through our program will lead you to professional and personal growth. At the same time, I hope that we will all experience spiritual growth as well.

 

Under the motto of “Competent, Compassionate, Catalysts in Christ,” we are committed to helping you broaden your knowledge base, sharpening your social work skills, and advising your professional development. 

 

Finally, we are delighted that you are considering Nyack College and social work as a possibility for your major course of study. If you have any questions regarding our program, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

We hope to welcome you as a social work student in near future.
