Hi,
I'm currently thinking about pursuing an MSW (concentration in health/mental health, looking to move toward a LCSW). I plan to live in small town (but not "bush") Alaska, doing hospital and clinical social work, if I do go this route. At the very least, I will get a human biology minor, if not a major, in undergrad, and a lot of the MPH cirriculum sounds fascinating to me. Would an MPH give me any noticeable advantages in training, salary, job opportunities, etc.? What schools have MSW/MPH combined programs?

Thanks!

I can't speak personally to this, but I have many friends in the MSW/MPH dual program at the University of Michigan. 👍
