I’m interested in the various opportunities through the MSW, such as special programs. Is it possible to do these programs alongside a dual degree in MSIL & MSW?
Eligibility will depend on your program track with the MSW program. We encourage you to reach out to discuss your interests and the feasibility of options based on your program track.
Can I take classes in the MSW program during the MSIL?
Yes, you will be able to take classes in the MSW program as electives in the MSIL program.
Can I pursue a dual degree with another master’s program at U-M?
As an MA in Social Impact Leadership student, you can use your electives to take courses in other graduate programs at the University of Michigan, including the Ross School of Business, the Ford School of Public Policy, the School of Environment and Sustainability, and the School of Information, among others. While there are no official dual degree options between the MSIL and other programs yet, this is something that could be built if students have a particular interest.
Can I get a Dual Degree MSW/MSIL?
In some cases, you can and you can complete your MSW and MSIL in 5 semesters. If you are interested in a Dual Degree with the MSW, you must reach out to discuss your options for how to complete both. As a key caveat, not all MSW tracks are currently eligible for the Dual Degree with the MSIL.
