पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program provides the foundation for a career in research through coursework exploring epistemological, methodological, practical and ethical issues related to the way research is conducted and used in applied settings. Additional courses in theory, policy, and statistics are also designed to relate directly to research skills and knowledge-building. A 6-credit hour research internship provides an opportunity to participate in a variety of aspects of the research process with an experienced research mentor. Advanced research and scholarship are woven through a comprehensive program to prepare students for leading roles in areas such as social work education, social welfare, policy analysis and development, administration, social work practice, and advocacy. The PhD program is built around a flexible interdisciplinary model which includes a carefully integrated series of didactic and experiential learning opportunities. And, while solidly grounded in the profession of social work, doctoral students may take advantage of the rich learning experiences available in other disciplines throughout the university. The career opportunities available for this program are to teach in accredited schools of social work; design and conduct research, conduct policy analysis, provide leadership, and advance social justice.
