Driving Equity 2030
Inside the Brown School’s 10-year strategic plan
This 10-year strategic plan is built on the significant history and strength of graduate education at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis. We invite you to view and download a copy.
For decades, the MSW program has been consistently ranked No. 1 or 2 by U.S. News & World Report. The School launched its Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program in 2009. Ten years later, the program was ranked No. 17 by U.S. News & World Report (the only program among a field of public health schools in the top 20). The Master of Social Policy (MSP) dual-degree program began in 2015 and is growing with interest from domestic and international students.
The Brown School also offers coursework leading to a doctoral degree in social work and public health sciences. Launched in 1952 and 2014, respectively, both programs engage students in rigorous research training and preparation for academic careers at top universities.
Building upon this exceptional foundation, the Brown School embraces the bold goal of Driving Equity through Rigorous Science, Transformative Education and Mutually Beneficial Partnerships.
We will extend and deepen our collective work in areas of existing strength, our Core Commitments, and expand in new and emerging areas, our Strategic Priorities.
“The core of our school is rooted in the robust foundation of Washington University and its close connections to both local and global communities we are dedicated to. Our ongoing strategic initiative, Driving Equity 2030, is focused on propelling progress in social, economic, health, environmental, and racial equality. Whether you’re considering enrollment, an alumni, a researcher, a professional, or a community participant, we extend an open invitation to you to become a part of our community. We encourage you to collaborate with us as we strive to eradicate social and health inequalities not only within St. Louis but also on a national and global scale.”
