Tulane University Reviews of Master's in Social Work

"This program is god awful. They have a fixed curriculum and don’t even put full sentences in their tests/prompts. They lie to you about getting the field placement of your choice. They scam money for Heath insurance. Very problematic for a social work school. Lots of discriminatory texts used."

"The education was great if you really study. My cohort had a few bad eggs filled with outrage and pettiness, who prevented free exchange of ideas without judgment. They showed up late to class, were always on their phones, and only joined in the discussion to take it over and decide what was acceptable to say or believe. They bullied anyone who didn't share their exact perspective. For a profession that demands empathy and unconditional positive regard, many classmates refused to see their peers as people with a righteous mission they were willing to incur almost $100k in debt so that they could better help people. Instead, they often did whatever they could to victimize others while claiming to be victims. It was shocking to see and experience, especially in a program for social work. Maybe it'd make a little more sense in an MBA program? Social workers shouldn't behave like this."

"Tulane was an interesting experience. I don't think there's a better place to study a subject like social work, the city of New Orleans has huge health and wealth disparities. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Tulane again."

"Very accommodating for working students in the part time program"

"Supportive and caring faculty members. Nice, new academic establishment centrally located in the heart of the diverse city of NOLA. Such an enriching learning environment to obtain an education, especially at Tulane which stands to its renowned reputation."

"The program is great, and the city of New Orleans provides an interesting case study for learning."

"This is a great program, you get out of it whatever you are willing to put in. You will also make great connections and have a lot of room for creativity in developing how you want to approach a career in Social Work."
