MSW/MPH Dual Degree Program

This interdisciplinary, three-year program with the NYU Silver School of Social Work is for students who seek to combine social work and public health with a global focus. At completion of the program, students will have earned a Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) and a Masters of Public Health degree (MPH). Courses are taught by professors drawn from relevant programs across five schools at NYU, including the Silver School of Social Work; the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service; the School of Medicine; the College of Dentistry (including the College of Nursing), and the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development.

The dual degrees are designed to provide the necessary skill sets for graduating students to pursue professional careers in both social work and public health, and prepare them for leadership roles in community healthcare settings, government agencies, and non-profit organizations in the United States and internationally. Students in the MSW/MPH program would enroll as full-time students taking courses within each program concurrently. Students would be able to choose between two MPH concentration areas (Health Policy and Management or Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and Human Migration).
