Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work

The Hunter College School of Social Work, currently renamed the Lois V. and Samuel J. Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, was established in 1958 and is the oldest and largest public school of social work in New York. Our mandate is informed by the School’s location within the City University of New York (CUNY), the nation’s largest urban public institution of higher education, and within Hunter College, one of CUNY’s five senior colleges. As part of CUNY, our goal is to provide social work education of the highest quality at the lowest possible cost.
