Public Health Social Work and the MSW/MPH Program at BU
Have you heard about Boston University’s MSW/MPH program?
Would you like to know more about public health social work?
Do you want to add “people skills” or to your MPH program OR prevention skills or policy analysis skills to your MSW program?
Are you concerned about global health, environmental issues, maternal and child health, or health care access and equity?
Boston University is home to the largest MSW/MPH program in the US. What makes it so special and why should you consider joining the 45 students who are currently studying public health social work?
Public health social work training teaches you how to help prevent social health problems like violence, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS, but it also educates you in how to intervene once problems have occurred. Public health social workers use research, policy, clinical, and community approaches to effectively help individuals, families, groups, and communities wherever it’s needed. The MSW/MPH program provides you with enhanced career options, flexibility, and a program with a proven track record of success.
This program is open to ALL students: part time, full time, advanced standing, first year and second year. Come to one of our Information Sessions and find out more…(See the schedule for Fall 2011 semester Info sessions below).
You can also find more information on the BU MSW/MPH program at our web site: www.bu.edu/ssw/mswmph.
