Marna Metcalf, MSW/MBA ’16
Change agents with solid business skills are in demand to lead highly effective teams and create new programs and policies.
Organizations in the private, public, nonprofit and government sectors are coming together to provide social and economic value, hoping to tackle society's greatest challenges. The School of Management and the School of Social Work offer a collaborative program leading to both the Master of Social Work (MSW) and the MBA degrees.
During the Social Impact Fellows program, MBA and MSW students work together to solve pressing challenges at mission-driven organizations.
If admitted to both degree programs, you will blend MBA and social work curricula, taking MBA core and elective courses in the first year, predominantly MSW year-one coursework in the second year, and blending MBA and social work in the third year, for a total of three years.
You must apply, meet the individual admissions criteria for, and be accepted to each degree program. To apply, complete the dual MSW/MBA application. Applications do not have to be submitted concurrently. For MBA admissions, you must submit the GMAT or GRE. For Public Health/Health Services admissions, you must submit the GRE. For specific program timeline and curriculum, consult with our Graduate Programs Office before applying.
