Dominican University is one of the first GSSW programs in the nation to offer a globally-focused, family-centered concentration in its master’s of social work program. The international component can be implemented in two different ways:
First Year (Foundation)
During the first year of the two-year MSW program, students will complete their internship in
local agencies that have either a community development or an international focus. These
agencies combine the community practice as well as the international aspect of the
concentration.
Second Year (Concentration)
In the concentration year, the student can choose to stay in the US and complete their
placement at either a community development or an international agency. If the student
wants to travel abroad in the concentration year, they have the option to complete a 10 week
international field placement at an approved international site. Students depart at the
beginning of the Spring term to their international placement while remaining an electronic
member of the classes via Skype, blogs, Wiki, email and Blackboard. Students will be assigned an
international advisor to assist in preparing for their international placement.
