Overview
Program Description
The Social Work and Public Health program at New Mexico State University complement each other. Public Health focuses on populations of people, and is highly analytical and Social Work focuses on individual, groups and communities within the social environment. Both programs heavily emphasize cross-cultural content in classes and have an emphasis on social justice.
Many students find this combined degree appealing, particularly if they are interested in community development and outreach. Students from other countries and students who have served in the Peace Corps find that this degree furthers their interest and careers in international service.
