Overview
Students will acquire the knowledge and skills to address the effects of social, economic, and health disparities on the well-being of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
What you'll learn
The public health lens of prevention at the population level and the social work lens of intervention at all levels of society are integrated through coursework and field work, including an integrated public health/social work field experience. Students will be able to apply critical thinking and collaboration skills using a systems-based framework with a social justice focus in a range of public, private, and non-profit settings.
Students in the coordinated Public Health and Social Work degree program from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee complete public health and social work courses at the same time. They will choose one of two public health concentrations, Community and Behavioral Health Promotion or Public Health Policy, as well as a population to emphasize in their social work courses.
