专业概况

The Master of Social Work/Master of Public Health dual degree program is a “natural.” Both disciplines are vitally concerned with human and social well-being, whether at micro (clinical practice) or macro (societal and policy) levels. The urban dilemmas of substance use and abuse, mental and behavioral health policy and practice, violence incidence and interventions, and access to health care are particularly vital areas of mutual focus. Research-based strategies in both disciplines address differential access and treatment in these and other health domains stemming from such categories as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic position, and gender. This dual degree is open to all MSW students in both the clinical and macro concentrations.

On its own, the MSW is a 16 CU degree, consisting of 11 required courses and 5 electives. On its own, the MPH is a 14 CU degree, consisting of 9 required courses and 5 electives. When students complete the MSW/MPH dual-degree, up to a total of 6 courses are cross-counted between the two degrees, enabling students to complete both degrees in 24 CUs. This means that up to three MPH courses are applied to the MSW degree and up to three MSW courses are applied to the MPH degree. Students may work with their academic advisors in the MSW and MPH programs to individualize their course of study, but the following courses have been pre-approved for cross-counting and represent the standard course of study:

• PUBH 501: Introduction to Biostatistics (fulfills SWRK Research Option)
• PUBH 505: Public Health Policy & Administration (fulfills SWRK Policy Option)
• PUBH 507: Public Health Law & Ethics (fulfills SWRK Elective)
• SWRK 615: Intro to Social Work Research (fulfills PUBH 506)
• SWRK 602: Human Behavior in the Social Environment (fulfills PUBH Elective)
• SWRK 603: American Racism and Social Work Practice (fulfills PUBH Elective)

MSW/MPH dual-degree students are permitted to take a maximum of three courses outside of the MSW program towards their degree. If students count three Public Health courses towards their MSW degree, their remaining 13 CUs for the MSW must be courses at SP2. Likewise, the MPH program permits MSW/MPH dual-degree students to take up to three of their MPH courses outside the Public Health program. In practice, this usually means that students who want to cross-count the maximum allowable number of courses between the two degrees do not have room to take classes outside SP2 or the PUBH program. However, students may be able to work with their advisor to find a course outside SP2 and Public Health that is one of their six cross-counted courses. Alternatively, students may choose to take additional courses beyond what they need for the two degrees.
