Dual Degree - Master of Arts in Holistic Health Studies and Master of Social Work

Admission Requirements

Dual degree students must meet the current requirements and be separately admitted into each of the two programs. Students will receive advising from each program to determine appropriate course sequencing. Students will be billed separately from each academic institution.

Expected Outcomes and Competencies

Expected outcomes and competencies for the HHS/MSW Dual program are consistent with the outcomes and competencies required for all students who complete HHS and the MSW programs.

Curriculum Requirements

The dual-degree program requires that students meet the disciplinary requirement for both the HHS and MSW programs. The HHS and MSW programs both have regular and advanced standing admissions provisions. 

The chart below identifies HHS and MSW credit requirements (for both regular and advanced standing students) along side the credit requirements for dual degree students of each type:

HHS REQUIREMENTS	DUAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Regular Standing               39 credits	27-29 credits
Advanced Standing            27-29 credits	16-20 credits
MSW REQUIREMENTS	DUAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Regular Standing               60 credits	54-57 credits
Advanced Standing            42 credits	36-39 credits

HHS Curriculum Adaptations

HHS/MSW dual degree students will not be required to take HHS7620: Organizing for Social Change (2 credits), HHS8900: Quantitative and Qualitative Research (2 credits), HHS8940: Research methods and Statistics (3 credits), HHS8980: Research Seminar (3 credits) for a total of 10 credits. Additionally, the HHS8920: Practicum and Integrative Seminar (2 credits) may also be negotiated in such a way that it fulfills the requirement for one of the two social work practicum.

MSW Curriculum Adaptations

HHS/MSW dual degree students will not be required to take all 9 credits of required electives in the MSW Program; instead, they will be allowed to transfer in 3 to 6 HHS credits to fulfill MSW elective requirements. While HHS/MSW students will not be completing the HHS research sequence (because they will be completing the social work research sequence), they will have the opportunity to do a research project that integrates the perspectives of both disciplines. Likewise, students may (depending on their interest, career goals, and availability of appropriate sites) have the opportunity to do an integrative holistic health/social work practicum that would fulfill the practicum requirement(s) of both programs.
