soon808 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I have been accepted to WUSTL and I am waiting to hear back from Tulane. Originally, I had been leaning towards Tulane bc it's a shorter program (16 months) and New Orleans would be a cool place to live, but I'm wondering about the quality of the program at Tulane. Specifically, how stimulating is it? How is the staff? How is the workload? Also, I am thinking about doing the International Social Work Certificate program. Has anyone gone through this and what did you think? THANKS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dressagester Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I applied to Tulane last year and got in but chose not to go due to finances (it was a really tough decision). First of all, the staff and faculty were WONDERFUL. I was able to meet with the admissions director, field placement officer (who spent over an hour with me) and sit in on a class. I was definitely impressed with the program. When I was looking into the program, I spoke to an alumni (LCSW) and she felt the program had really prepared her to come back to California (where we are both from) and begin her career--she has worked in school based social work and now is in private practice. She did say that the 4 back to back semesters does make the program really intense but the "clinical community" curriculum model has served her well. There are good field placement options but a number of them were cut due to the aftermath of the Hurricane. If you went, you would definitely need a car. Call them if you have any questions, they are really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
