The University of Pittsburgh's School of Social Work is an exciting place to learn and grow. It is ranked 14th in the country among schools of social work by U.S. News & World Report, and is recognized as a leader in the field. Although the School is known nationally for its Center on Race and Social Problems and its model training and research programs in child welfare, it is equally regarded as a leader in overall education of leaders in the field. Graduates of this School have abundant opportunities to work in a wide variety of jobs.
MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAMS
The University of Pittsburgh's School of Social Work, successor to the Division of Social Work in the Department of Sociology, was founded in September 1938 and accepted its first class of MSW students that year. The School takes pride in its history, while developing professional practice to meet future challenges. The MSW Program offers social work education for the 21st century and is ranked among the top graduate social work programs in the nation.
PhD PROGRAM
Social work doctoral education prepares students for leadership roles in social work research, social work education, social policy, planning, and administration. The goal of the doctoral program of the School of Social Work is to provide students with advanced academic training that will allow them to contribute to the knowledge base of the professional.
DUAL/JOINT/COOPERATIVE DEGREES
MSW DUAL, JOINT, AND COOPERATIVE DEGREE PROGRAMS
Some students seek to complement their social work education and training by earning a degree in another discipline or profession. Others wish to further their education within the field of social work. The dual, joint, and cooperative degree programs offered by the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work afford students a unique way to complete their MSW studies while also pursuing another graduate degree. However, no student will be permitted to enroll or engage in more than one dual, joint, or cooperative degree program within the School of Social Work or between the School of Social Work and any other school or program during the course of earning that dual or joint degree. The School?s Joint Master's degree programs are:
MSW/JD School of Law
MSW/MPH Graduate School of Public Health
MSW/MDiv Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
MSW/School of Public and International Affairs
MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK/DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD) IN SOCIAL WORK
Each year, a small number of applicants express interest in pursuing both an MSW and a PhD in social work. These individuals often already possess a graduate degree in a related academic field, but find that their personal and professional interests lie more fully in the field of social work. Such applicants typically are interested in grounding themselves in the practice base of the social work profession, while also seeking to develop their advanced research and intellectual skills.
Those interested in obtaining information regarding the requirements and processes for this dual degree program are encouraged to contact the Director of the Doctoral Program.
MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH/DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD) IN SOCIAL WORK
Special mention should be given to this program since it provides a unique opportunity to combine the attainment of a master?s in public health and a PhD in social work. Since 12 credits can be applied to both degrees simultaneously, and since advising is arranged for all joint students, it is usually feasible for joint students to complete both degrees within the general timetable outlined for the doctoral program, although the number of electives necessarily becomes very restricted.
