Social Work, M.S.W. and Law, J.D. Dual Degree

Summary

Lawyers and social workers both work to serve individuals and communities through different disciplines. The Juris Doctor/Master of Social Work dual degree offered through the Saint Louis University School of Law and the School of Social Work allows you to combine those disciplines, equipping you not only with the training to practice law but with the in-depth knowledge of social conditions and the needs of individuals, groups and communities needed to promote well-being. 

 

• SLU's M.S.W. program ranks highly nationally and allows students to hone skills in therapy, crisis intervention, veterans' services, nonprofit administration and global social work.
• An M.S.W. gives a lawyer specialized insight into mental health, aging, homelessness, poverty, child welfare and many more issues. This insight is advantageous in practicing law of any kind, especially public interest law, family law and indigent defense. A lawyer can provide much-needed legal tools to those most in need that a social worker alone cannot, such as representation in court and mediation in housing and unemployment disputes.
• Students complete their first-year core curriculum courses in the School of Law and then begin an integrated curriculum at both the School of Law and the School of Social Work. Full-time students can complete the J.D./M.S.W. program in four years.
