New York City

The vibrancy of cosmopolitan New York City nurtures the future-oriented, global perspective that makes the School of Social Work so distinctive. Social issues that challenge cities worldwide are the foci of our faculty’s research. Their expertise is sought by federal, state and local governments; foundations; international, national and local organizations and the corporate sectors. Those social issues are the fulcrum of discourse that our diverse students find invigorating and critical to their development as leaders.

For information about exploring and enjoying New York, The Columbia University Guide to Exploring New York City contains headlines and features, weather, webcams, up–to–the–minute information, transit maps, and cultural and entertainment calendars.

“The social work experience in New York
is amazing. It’s unlike
any other place.”
