The MPA/MSW program is based on the assumption that because there is complementary intellectual and professional benefit from studying social work and public administration in a coordinated program, a student enrolled in the dual degree program should be allowed to earn both degrees in less time and with a lower overall credit requirement than were that student enrolled in each school or program independently. The program is designed to help students gain clinical knowledge and experience, along with administrative (e.g., budgeting, human resource management, program evaluation, etc.) experience concurrently.
Students in the dual degree program complete 51 credit hours of MSW coursework and 30 credit hours of MPA coursework. By combining the two programs, a student will save 21 credit hours. If needed, dual degree students may complete their MPA internship requirement through the MSW practicum requirement. The MPA Program’s major research paper requirement can be met through the MSW project requirement, but an MPA advisor must approve the final product. Both degrees are conferred at the same time, even if requirements are completed for one before the other. Additionally, a student may not take the CSW licensing exam until both degrees are completed.
All MSW courses are held during the day, while all MPA courses are held in the evening.
