Message from the Dean
Peter B. Vaughan
Dean, Graduate School
of Social Service
A tradition of learning, service and social justice informs baccalaurelate, masters and doctoral Social Work programs — welcome to Fordham!
The objective of Fordham's Graduate School of Social Service is to prepare graduates at three degree levels to be effective agents for change as they strive to enhance the quality of life for the individuals, groups, communities and organizations they serve. While the School is driven by its value base and its mission to promote social justice and social change, the program, through its distinguished faculty, educates the students in the profession's latest theories and skills. The School is particularly proud of its graduate school ranking of fourteenth of some one hundred and forty ranked M.S.W. programs by U.S. News and World Report.
Academic excellence at Fordham is enhanced by a strong sense of community inspired by social work values and by the tradition of Jesuit institutions for cura personalis. Individual attention to students by faculty, administrators and staff is a hallmark of our School. This individualized approach is reflected in the range of programs and schedules designed to respond to each student's personal and professional needs and in the School's ongoing support and assistance for career planning as students prepare to graduate.
