Hudson Valley Center M.S.W. Program

The School of Social Work offers the M.S.W. degree at the Hudson Valley Center, which is located in Poughkeepsie, New York. Students have the opportunity to pursue the master’s degree program by taking evening and/or Saturday classes. Students may attend part time or full time. All courses are taught at the Center except SWK 736 Contemporary Social Work: An Integrated Approach, which is offered as a blended class. That class requires only four in-person sessions held at the Garden City campus, and the remainder of the sessions are taught online. The course is offered each fall, spring and summer semesters on the Garden City campus. SWK 736 is not offered at the Hudson Valley Center.

Field placements for first and second year students are arranged in agencies throughout the Hudson Valley region in a wide variety of professional settings. All courses offered in the Hudson Valley program follow the same outlines and have the same requirements as the courses on the main campus. The Graduate Admissions Office in Garden City, using the same criteria and procedures governing applications to the main campus, handles admission to the Hudson Valley program centrally. All decisions regarding admissions are made by the coordinator of admissions in Garden City in consort with the School’s Admission’s Committee.
