English Internationalizing the US social work curriculum with programs of study abroad is an effective method to develop students’ awareness of the importance of global interdependence and increase multicultural knowledge. 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. French Internationaliser le curriculum américain en travail social par le biais de programmes d'études à l'étranger est un moyen efficace pour prendre conscience de l'importance de l'interdépendance globale et pour hausser nos connaissances multiculturelles. Les résultats du sondage sur les degrés de conscience, de connaissances et d'habiletés multiculturelles ainsi que les résultats des entrevues en 'focus groups' pré et post expérience, révèlent les mérites d'un programme d'étude de maítrise à l'étranger en travail social dans un échange entre les Ütats-Unis et l'Australie. Spanish Una manera eficaz de desarrollar el sentido de interdependencia global y aumentar el conocimiento de asuntos multiculturales es a través de planes de estudio que incorporen temas internacionales y con programas en países fuera del propio. Los resultados de la encuesta Conciencia Multicultural/Conocimiento/Destrezas, y los grupos de pre y post focus señalan los méritos que tienen en este sentido los programas internacionales de master's de trabajo social entre EE.UU. y Australia
