Program Overview

The "Side by Side" Dual Degree Program leads to both the Master of Social Work (MSW) and the Master of Public Health (MPH). The MSW/MPH program will prepare graduates with flexibility for professional leadership in a broad range of health and social services within communities and organizations. Areas of study will include prevention, program planning, development and evaluation.

The impetus for this dual program arises from a growing societal recognition that issues once thought to represent individual-level interventions, such as family violence, substance use, and mental illness, are multi-level problems demanding multi-level interventions for their amelioration. The MSW/MPH Degree Program will equip students with a broader set of skills and perspectives to address such issues.

Admission

Students must apply separately to the Mandel School and the School of Graduate Studies for admission into each program. Admission to one program is not a guarantee that the student will gain admission to the other, and application to both programs should be made simultaneously. A joint committee of the two programs will meet and review the joint degree applications.
