Abstract

An effective method to develop students' awareness of the importance of global interdependence and increase multicultural knowledge is to internationalize the US social work curriculum with programs of study abroad. Results from the Multicultural Awareness/Knowledge/Skill Survey and pre-post focus groups indicate the merits of a US-Australian social work program of study abroad for master's-level social work students.
