GSS Student Ambassadors

I picked Fordham because of the partnership the university has with Molloy University. Fordham has multiple locations and opportunities for students to receive their degree in social work that allow students to have flexibility with their schedules. In addition, Fordham/Molloy creates a safe and comfortable learning environment that fosters to my needs as a MSW student. Lastly, I chose Fordham because it offers a diverse learning environment including faculty and students which is important to me as a student in the field of social work.

I picked Fordham University because of the social work classes that are offered throughout the plan of study. I was also able to engage with an ambassador during my decision making process along with having  peers that have attended this program as well. Being apart of Fordham has had me made many connections in the Social Work Field.

I'm a Fordham University alumnae and when thinking of the environment most important to me I remembered how great my 4 years as an undergrad were. I also had the opportunity to speak with someone with admissions and asked all the questions and knew instantly this was the program meant for me. Fordham University is one the most flexible programs to be a part of especially for someone like myself that works full time.

When deciding on M.S.W. programs, diversity was a priority for me. The unique range of student perspectives and experiences that the Fordham GSS community represented stood out to me. In addition to a diverse student population, location and flexibility were also a priority. Fordham offers several plans of study options as well as campus locations - this flexibility is so helpful when you are trying to juggle school, work, and other life responsibilities. Lastly, being part of a community that is intentionally supportive in helping students succeed was important to me and the Fordham GSS community has provided just that. 

Attending a reputable program and a program that offered in person classes within close proximity to my home were the two major components I considered when selecting a program. Fordham has a highly ranked MSW program and conveniently offers courses at their Westchester campus. The curriculum, convenience of different campus locations, and faculty staff all contributed to my decision to attend Fordham. 

When I started applying for graduate programs Fordham was on my radar. When I contacted Fordham to ask questions about their Master of Social Work program, I instantly felt welcomed. I looked up pictures of the Westchester campus and spoke to an ambassador about their experience and started to visualize myself taking classes. I knew that this is where I wanted to be. Now that I’m here, I can’t picture a better program to learn how to be an asset and uplift individuals who are underrepresented in communities such as the Bronx New York.
