This joint-degree program is designed for those wishing to pursue a career that emphasizes family and child health. This program requires completion of 81 credits: 65 credits in coursework (36 in social work and 30 in public health) and 15 credit hours in field instruction. The program begins in the fall semester and takes five continuous semesters (including the summer). In the beginning of the program students take courses primarily in social work, and as the semesters progress students take an increasing proportion of their courses in the public health. In the last semester students take all of their courses in public health. Students take school core courses and department core courses in the master of public health curriculum as well as section requirements for the maternal and child health or health education and communication major and electives.
