The School of Social Work and Princeton Theological Seminary offer an accelerated program in social work and ministry leading to dual master of social work (M.S.W.) and master of divinity (M.Div.) degrees. The program is designed for students who expect to enter forms of ministry requiring competence in the disciplines of theology and social work.
The joint M.Div./M.S.W. program allows a student to complete both degrees in four years of full-time study. The first two years of study are spent exclusively at Princeton Theological Seminary. In the third year, a joint-degree student completes the requirements for the M.Div. while concurrently completing 18 credits of coursework and field education placement at the School of Social Work. In the summer between the third and fourth years, students are required to complete one course at the School of Social Work: 19:910:507 Psychopathology. In the fourth and final year of the program, students take all their coursework and field education placements at the School of Social Work.
