University of Southern California School of Social Work

The USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, a school of the University of Southern California, was founded in 1920.[1][2] The school's only location is Los Angeles, California.

According to school officials, the Dworak-Peck School is the largest school for social work in the world, with an approximate enrollment of 3,500. This means roughly 1 of every 20 graduate-level social workers in the country graduated from the school.[3] It also has the oldest MSW and PhD of Social Work programs in the West.[4]

The school was renamed the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work in 2016, after USC alumnus Suzanne Dworak-Peck donated $60 million to the school. It is the largest donation ever to a school of social work.[5][6]

The program was ranked #25 by the 2019 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking,[7] and offers a Doctor of Social Work degree, as well as a Master of Social Work degree.[8][9][10]
