DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS

DUAL

DEGREE

PROGRAMS

One of the special features of Brown’s MSW program is the opportunity to seek degrees in two professions at the same time. A dual-degree program always takes longer to complete than a conventional MSW program.

Each school participating in these joint-degree programs honors its basic requirements while making accommodations for those who choose to earn two degrees. To enter a dual-degree program, you must apply separately and be admitted to each school. At the successful conclusion of the dual-degree program, you receive degrees from both institutions.

The dual degree program in Social Work and Architecture began in 1972. Students in this

program earn a Master of Social Work degree and a Master of Architecture degree or a Master of Architecture in Urban Design degree. The dual degree program typically represents a three year program of studies.

The major goal of the program is to educate and prepare professional architects with social work knowledge, values, and skills. The program links physical design with social dimensions of planning and spatial design. The areas for which the dual degree knowledge is most

appropriate are in community development and planning, housing rehabilitation, and

residential design for populations at risk, such as the developmentally disabled and the aged. The requirements of the program were developed for students who already have an

undergraduate degree in Architecture. Students with non-architectural baccalaureate degrees may also pursue an MSW/MArch program, but the duration of graduate architecture studies will be extended. Students admitted into this program spend three semesters in Architecture and three semesters in Social Work. They are required to take 48 credit hours for the Master of Architecture and 48 credit hours for the MSW. If the degree in Architecture is a Master of Architecture and Urban Design, the total required architectural credit hour is 38.

Students admitted into this program may start their initial year in the School of Architecture or the School of Social Work. In the second year, the student enters the school not attended the first year. The third year of studies is used to finish requirements for the two degrees on an inter-school basis. Such courses as urban planning, decision theory and design methods, and social and behavioral factors in planning and design may be transferred to Social Work from Architecture.

Graduates of the program in Social Work and Architecture are engaged in urban planning, housing redevelopment, teaching, and community and enterprise development.

The George Warren Brown School of Social Work (Brown) at Washington University, in conjunction with the Washington University Program in Jewish, Islamic and Near Eastern Studies (JINES), offers students the opportunity to obtain a Master of Social Work and a Master of Arts degree in Jewish Studies.

The dual degree program is designed for students who are primarily interested in careers within the Jewish community that stress the integration of social work knowledge, values and skills with studies in the Jewish community, Hebrew and Judaism. Through a course of study, students are able to prepare for a wide variety of career opportunities in community leadership, social policy/advocacy, group services, program development, and direct practice. Graduates are prepared to become leaders in the Jewish community.

Students admitted to the program complete 60 credits in the MSW program and 30 in the MAJS program. The foundation course, American Jewish Community, will provide a comprehensive overview of the development and structure of the contemporary American Jewish community and the field of Jewish communal service. Students will have the

opportunity to complete the foundation practicum at one of the local Brown School affiliated Jewish agencies (as part of a field unit) and the concentration practicum in Israel. Given the wide range of choices, MSW/MAJS students can also select from among the 5 concentration (and the individualized option) areas offered and complete a specialization.

The dual degree program in Social Work and Business Administration began in 1975. In this three-year program of studies, students earn a Master in Social Work degree and a Master in Business Administration degree. The program's basic goal is to prepare students for advanced social work practice with specialized business management skills and knowledge. The George Warren Brown School of Social Work and the John M. Olin School of Business developed this program for (1) social work students who want to draw upon the School of Business for the technical aspects of business administration and its functional areas -- accounting, marketing, finance, and operations management -- to complement advanced training in social work and (2) business students who seek to emphasize social and interpersonal aspects of business

administration such as employee relations and community resources. The areas for which this dual preparation is most valuable are administration of social services and human resource management.

Students in the program enroll for approximately three semesters in social work and

approximately three semesters in business. Students are required to complete 51 credit hours in the School of Business and 48 credit hours in the School of Social Work. The School of Business recognizes 15 credit hours of courses from the School of Social Work for the MBA Degree, and the School of Social Work recognizes 12 credit hours of courses from the School of Business for the MSW degree.

Brown treats the 12 credit hours of course work in the School of Business as electives. Electives that Brown recognizes from the School of Business include: Financial Accounting, Marketing Management, Macro-Economics, Computer Concepts, and Programming.

In the dual degree program in Social Work and Business Administration, students may start in either school, but they are advised to begin in Social Work. To date there are ten graduates. Their career paths have taken them in different directions: administration and planning

In cooperation with the Washington University School of Law, Brown was the first school of social work to implement a dual master degree program in social work and law. The program began in 1972. Students from this program earn the Master in Social Work and the Doctor of Jurisprudence degrees. The program of studies is four years.

The basic goal of the social work and law program is to prepare students with combined skills in both social work and law for advanced practice with complex social and legal issues in areas where law and social work converge. Some of the areas in which dual degree knowledge and skills are necessary are community development, housing and rehabilitation, mental health, criminal and juvenile justice administration, family mediation, and legal aid to the poor.

Students enrolled in the George Warren Brown School of Social Work and the School of Law spend five semesters in the School of Law and three in the School of Social Work. Students may begin their studies in either school.

Students take a total of 76 hours in law and 48 hours in social work. The School of Law recognizes nine credit hours of courses from the School of Social Work for the JD degree, and the School of Social Work recognizes twelve credit hours of courses from the School of Law for the MSW degree.

GWB treats the 12 hours from the School of Law as electives from such courses as: Legal Research, Constitutional Law, Ethics, Family Law, Problems of the Mentally Ill, and Social Legislation. Although the majority of JD/MSW students pursue an individualized

concentration for their studies in the School of Social Work, they are required to fulfill the same degree requirements that apply to all students in the MSW program. All practicum credit hours are earned through the School of Social Work.
