Abstract
The joint degree has grown increasingly popular because it is seen as a way of becoming more competitive in a tight job market. Many schools of social work view it as a way of attracting students. This article explores the structural and philosophical aspects of collaborative education, with particular attention to the joint Master of Social Work-Master of Public Health (MSW-MPH) program. Important issues that should be considered before initiating a joint degree option are also discussed.
