The Boston University School of Social Work Orientation for all incoming students provides you an opportunity to engage with the entire school, become familiar with its philosophy, and meet the dean, faculty, and administration.

Pre-Entrance Reading Requirement – Discussion at Orientation

Each year, the School requires that all incoming students read a specific book prior to entering the program. This is followed by a book discussion that occurs at Orientation.  The following book was chosen as a response to the needs of diverse populations and in recognition of the role of race and ethnicity in meeting human needs:
