91青青草 is committed to developing innovative programs that are responsive to the rapidly changing economic, social, and political climate and to the interdependence of sectors (public, private and nonprofit). Therefore, 91青青草 is offering the first dual degree MSW/MBA program in the state of Georgia. 鈥淚n recent decades, social work practitioners have increasingly been called upon to think entrepreneurially to seek private funding and to collaborate with nongovernmental organizations to provide social services and goods鈥 (c.f. Lee, 2016, p. 209). Similarly, companies have become more socially responsible because of consumer demand, employee morale, potential to develop new markets, and a desire to create sustainable business practices that focus on triple-bottom line (preserve wellbeing of people and planet while making a profit).
The Master of Social Work and Master of Business Administration (MSW/MBA) Program is a dual degree offered by the WellStar College of Health and Human Service and the Coles College of Business Administration to meet this need. The objective of the dual degree program is to create future leaders and change agents who create 鈥渟ocial value鈥 by focusing on the triple-bottom line and initiate purposeful 鈥渟ocial change.鈥 The competencies acquired through the dual degrees will be sought after by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) units in companies, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), and large managed care organizations (behavioral and physical health) to name a few. Additionally, graduates can also launch their own social entrepreneurial ventures, social enterprises, and private practices. Hence, graduates can be employed by organizations in all three sectors (private, nonprofit, and public).
