Social Work (MSW) and Public Administration (Executive MPA)

The Silver School and the NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service offer a program in which a student may simultaneously pursue study leading to an MSW and an Executive Master of Public Administration (MPA). By taking courses that are acceptable for transfer credit in both of the schools and through careful course planning, the dual-degree student can complete both degrees in two years, including two summers. Students have flexibility to take courses in either the Public and Nonprofit Management and Policy or Health Policy and Management programs at Wagner. Neither degree will be conferred until the requirements for both are fulfilled.
