International Dimensions
The geographic location of the University and the East-West Center's close ties with the University afford opportunities for understanding of international social welfare. Cross-cultural aspects of social welfare, particularly those pertaining to Asian countries and the Pacific Basin, are included in courses and symposia in the School of Social Work and in other parts of the University. The school also undertakes partnerships with schools and other organizations in Asia and the Pacific. Special non-degree and short-term programs are occasionally arranged for students from abroad with varying educational backgrounds who wish to contribute to social welfare in their own countries through study in a different cultural setting.
