Ph.D. Program in Social Welfare

The PhD. Program in Social Welfare is guided by the past achievements and future aspirations of the human services professions. On the one hand, we remain committed to social work's historic role in developing effective change strategies at the individual, agency, community, national, and international levels. On the other hand, the Program strives to produce expert experts in using research to answer leading-edge, practice-relevant questions of the future. As a result, our graduates successfully compete for academic positions in public and private universities and occupy influential positions in social service agencies and foundations.
