MSW and MPH - Rural Public Health Sample Curriculum Plans

Dual Enrollment: MSW - Clinical and OCL Concentrations and MPH - Rural Public Health Concentration and

  • MSW Clinical Concentration students are allowed to use 6 credits from the MPH program as electives in their MSW curriculum.
  • MSW OCL Concentration students are allowed to use 10 credits from the MPH program as electives in their MSU curriculum.
    • We recommend using the one-credit course PH 827: Principles of Public Health Leadership to meet the 10-credit maximum.
  • The MSW program allows their students to select any courses from the MPH to use as electives in the MSW curriculum (sans PH 892 and PH 893).
  • Students can use one of their SW 894 experiences as their MPH practicum experience as long as it is sufficiently public health related and is approved by the MPH program in advance of enrolling in SW 894.
    • Students must enroll in PH 892 the same semester as the SW 894 experience they plan to use.
    • Students cannot enroll in PH 892 unless they have successfully completed all MPH core, foundational, and concentration-specific courses with a 3.0 or higher.
  • Work with the MPH and MSW advisors to create a curriculum plan that works for you!
  • Course descriptions for each course can be found on the MSU Course Descriptions page.
