Online Master of Social Work / Master of Public Health Dual Degree Program
The LSU School of Social Work and the LSU Health Sciences Center (HSC) in New Orleans offer a concurrent degree program through which a student may receive both the Master of Public Health (MPH) and a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. Students successfully completing the concurrent degree program receive two separate degrees: the MSW awarded by the School of Social Work and the MPH awarded by the Health Sciences Center. The MSW-MPH dual-degree program will provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote health, prevent disease, and enhance the delivery of evidence-based health and social services in the community. Upon completion of the MSW-MPH dual-degree program, graduates will demonstrate knowledge of the breadth of each field and their interface, as well as have ability to incorporate interdisciplinary skills in public health and health-related settings. The MSW-MPH dual-degree program is designed to prepare graduates for work in a variety of interdisciplinary health and health-related settings and, for some, may provide a basis for future doctoral study. MSW-MPH dual-degree students will satisfy the requirements for 60 MSW credit hours and the required MPH hours.
