The MSW/MA (Asian American Studies) joint program combines advanced social work training with interdisciplinary study of Asian American communities, histories, and experiences. By integrating the practice-based framework of social work with the interdisciplinary scholarship of Asian American Studies, students gain the skills and cultural fluency to work across professional fields including education, law, business, and social work.
Community Focus: Address social inequities and serve a large, diverse Asian American community.
Career Versatility: Prepares graduates for roles in education, law, business, social work, and policy.
Sub-Discipline Exposure: Includes coursework in education, sexuality studies, behavioral science, gender studies, history, and law.
Dual Accreditation: Meet the full requirements of both the Master of Social Welfare and the MA in Asian American Studies.
The MSW/MA in Asian American Studies concurrent degree allows students to complete the requirements for both degrees through a coordinated plan of study. Students combine advanced social welfare coursework, field education, and specialization requirements with interdisciplinary training in Asian American Studies. Students complete the required capstone requirements for each program through either a comprehensive exam or thesis pathway.
