MSW Program
Dual Degree and Specializations
Clinical Social Work and Behavioral Medicine Certificate Program
Structure of the Program
This program is for clinical majors only and requires a total of 71 credits, 6 credits more than the 65 needed for the MSW. During their two-year MSW program, students take three courses at the School of Medicine in the following content areas: behavioral medicine, psychopharmacology, and behavioral neuroscience. A fourth course is an elective which can be taken at either School and which relates to a student's particular interests. An integrative group seminar meets three times yearly. The program is open to both full- and part-time students. Full-time students are required to take two summer courses between first and second year and will graduate with their class in the following May. The field placement process remains the same, but students are encouraged to choose placements in health or mental health care settings in which a behavioral medicine component may be integrated.
