The MSW/MPIA joint degree program at the University of Pittsburgh enables students to earn both a Master of Social Work from the School of Social Work and a Master of Public and International Affairs from the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA). The curriculum allows students to complete both degrees in a shorter time (usually 3 years) and with fewer credits than pursuing the degrees separately. MSW focus areas include direct practice (clinical) and community organization (macro) approaches, while the MPIA offers majors such as International Political Economy, Human Security, or Security & Intelligence Studies. Students benefit from coordinated academic advising and practical field placements in both disciplines, preparing them for careers in social policy, international development, social services administration, and nonprofit leadership. 来源： https://msw.pitt.edu
