Why Social Work?My focus on social work stems from its interdisciplinary nature. After finishing my undergraduate work in psychology and working in the social service field in China, I wanted a degree that would legitimize my work background. The M.S.S.A./M.N.O. joint degree program opens up many doors to international work. |
