MSW with Global Specialization

[Malkavia]

Greetings everyone!

Very happy I found this forum and I've already had a fun time reading a lot of the topics.

I am about to leave to the Middle East for language school to finish fluency in Arabic that I first started in my undergrad. I plan on applying to MSW programs in a year so I have plenty of time, however, I wanted to start doing research now.

I am interested in MSW programs that have a global or international specialization. Currently I have found:

Fordham University

Boston College

Tulane (they have a certificate but not a concentration)

Rutgers

NYU (they have a global MSW/MPH program, need to do more research)

If anyone knows of any others I would love to know. If a program is known to have a good refugee/IDP program, great. If it is known to have connections in the Middle East, even better.

Also, if anyone has experience with any MSW degree with a global concentration I'd be grateful to hear about it. Just wanting to gather general experience from people.

Thanks!

Hi! Wow, I am interested in the EXACT same thing as you! I have also been studying Arabic and get an MSW with an international concentration. If you have any info could you please let me know!? I got into Tulane for the MSW and i'm supposed to be going in two weeks but I talked to a girl today who started the program last year and dropped out because it was so bad, she said. She said the international concentration really wasn't strong and didn't have ties to anywhere except India (there is a three week trip that is optional). I'm so hesitant to go now, and go into debt for a weak program. So confused! Anyways, please let me know if you find out anything! Shukran jazilaan! Lindsay (lincon44@aol.com)
