The dual MSW/MPH dual degree is an opportunity for student to pursue both a MSW from School of Social Work and a MPH from the School of Public health and Tropical Medicine.  The dual degree requires student to complete all requirements in both schools; student may share 10 credits that count toward both degrees. 

The MPH in Community Health Sciences is the concentration option for the dual degree. The dual degree allows students to count 10 credits earned in the MSW program toward the MPH degree in Community Health.  These 10 credits serve as electives toward the total of 42 credits required for the MPH, MSPH or MPHTM degrees.

Student from either school may apply to the other school’s degree program under the dual degree. The student should then work closely with advisors in both schools for course selection and advising.
