The Master of Science in Social Work at the Columbia University School of Social Work, Integrated Practice and Programming (IPP) track, equips students with skills bridging individual and community social work—including program planning, advocacy, and evidence-informed interventions. The IPP curriculum emphasizes development of clinical practice programs, team-building, and grant writing. Field education is a program hallmark, offering placements in over 900 diverse settings, particularly in New York City and beyond. Graduates are prepared for roles in community development, advocacy, child welfare, mental health, and program coordination across agencies such as social justice organizations, human rights agencies, and family service offices. The program aligns with CSWE competencies and instills graduates with strong social justice values.
