What is a MSW Dual Degree Program?
A dual degree program combines two advanced degrees in related fields. CSU’s School of Social Work and the Colorado School of Public Health support and share your passion for tackling global social and behavioral health issues. By choosing the MSW/MPH dual degree track, you are able to share credits between programs, reducing the time and tuition costs necessary to complete both programs. This is a unique opportunity; there are only 20 like it in the U.S.
Our MSW/MPH Dual Degree Program is paired with a public health concentration of Global Health and Health Disparities. This concentration gives students a foundation and skill set for tackling the issue of health equity locally and globally.
You will develop skills in:
- Public policy analysis and development,
- Program planning and evaluation,
- Systems level thinking, and
- Research, practice, and application of theory.

MSW/MPH Coursework Information
You will complete coursework leading to a Master’s in Social Work and a Master’s in Public Health. The dual degree program is full-time and on-campus. We welcome students from a wide variety of undergraduate degree majors. If you are interested in the dual degree, there are two options described below, one for students who already hold a bachelor’s degree in Social Work (similar to the Advanced Standing Program) and another for students from all other bachelor’s degree areas.
We will make sure you have a prescribed curricular plan and encourage regular meetings with advisors to track your degree requirements. The MSW/MPH Dual Degree program aligns with all MPH concentrations. We accept applications from September through December for this dual degree program.
