Overview

The Social Work and Public Health dual degree program is a collaborative effort between the University of Nebraska Omaha, Grace Abbott School of Social Work, and University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Public Health.

This dual degree program prepares students to provide a variety of advanced social work services with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. This dual degree also allows graduates to assume leadership in the public health sector to promote and protect physical and mental health, with a focus on population-based services, prevention, collaboration, and strategies and policies grounded in basic science.
