Doctor of Social Work
The Doctor of Social Work (DSW) program at our institution welcomes applicants holding
a Master of Social Work degree and a minimum of two years of post-MSW practice experience. This rigorous Doctorate of Social Work requires completion
of 48 credit hours and is designed to be pursued part-time over a span of three years. Core coursework for the DSW degree encompasses essential
subjects such as research methodologies, statistical analysis, program evaluation, management principles, and clinical supervision. Elective
options allow students to specialize further in clinical practice methods, teaching strategies, or advanced research techniques.
Our Doctorate Social Work Program is committed to developing practitioner-scholars
who can leverage twenty-first century skills in data-driven analysis and informatics to evaluate social work services and practice environments.
Throughout the program, students are equipped with social work leadership and management skills to effectively navigate complex practice environments
at local, national, and global levels. They are prepared to educate the next generation of social workers through supervision and training, fostering
leadership in an evolving practice landscape.
Additionally, students learn to demonstrate leadership in interdisciplinary settings,
collaborating with diverse clients and communities to address complex social issues. The program emphasizes contributing to social work knowledge
through rigorous research and practical application, ensuring graduates make meaningful contributions to the field.
Applications for the DSW program are accepted exclusively for the Fall semester intake.
