Dual Programs and Certificate #

Expand your knowledge and credentials with our MSW/MPH or MSW/JD or certificate program—including the nation’s only e-social work certificate. In addition, our collaborative, student-centered environment allows you to build your professional network with faculty and fellow students while you learn.

Unlike other MSW programs, ours concentrates on both clinical and community practice, so students are broadly prepared and highly marketable. This gives them the freedom to build their careers however they choose.
