NYU Silver Social Work (MSW) and Public Health (MPH) Dual-Degree

This interdisciplinary, three-year program with the NYU School of Global Public Health 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 an MSW and a Master of Public Health (MPH). Courses are taught by faculty 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, and the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development. Students in the MSW/MPH dual-degree program enroll as full-time students taking courses within each program concurrently. Neither degree will be conferred until the requirements for both degrees are fulfilled.
