About the course

The dual degree prepares students to work for social change at the community level. The program incorporates issues related to class, race, ethnicity, gender, age, and cultural differences. It develops skills in organizing groups for social action, planning programs at the community level, developing community-based services, and involving people in the planning process. Students have many opportunities to participate in community-based planning projects associated with Taubman College's Detroit Community Partnership Center and in research projects related to community development. Students admitted to the combined program are required to complete the first year courses in one school during the first year and to complete the first year courses at the other school in the second year. Students may begin at either school. During the third year of the program, students are permitted to elect courses in either school and are generally not restricted in their choices beyond fulfilling the required course work.
