Program Description
The Master of Social Services/Master in Public Health (MSS/MPH) dual degree option is open to students enrolled at the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research (GSSWSR) at Bryn Mawr College's Master of Social Services (MSS) program and JCPH's MPH program.
The MSS/MPH recognizes the long-standing synergy between social service/social work and public health. It accommodates the growing interest of professionals to seek advanced graduate training to enhance their skills in serving populations in need. The dual degree prepares students to work across siloes and in collaboration with communities and multidisciplinary teams of practitioners, researchers, lawyers, educators, and policy makers working to improve health.
Curriculum: 36 credits
- MSS/MPH students complete 36 credits (12 courses) of MPH coursework. Additionally, students work closely with faculty to design and complete an independent project on a topic of their choice.
