Doctor's degree Social Work - Arizona State University at the Downtown Phoenix Campus

Doctor's degree Social Work from Arizona State University at the Downtown Phoenix Campus is a Campus Ph.D Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. The program seeks to prepare future social work scholars who are involved in the development and application of theories in social work practice, and who plan to enhance social work knowledge through classroom and field settings. The program introduces students to the range of roles and responsibilities of faculty leadership, to the challenging expectations of critical thinking and creativity in research and teaching, and to the multiple ways of integrating research, teaching, and service in the social work profession. The Social Work faculty advocate for and support the human potential in the distinct experiences and perspectives of the Southwest region. The cultural and economic diversity of the Southwest makes it possible for faculty and students to engage in many issues in their community-based research and practice. Students must demonstrate scholarly competencies in several broad areas identified during the mentoring and advising process. These areas must include: micro/macro theories and perspectives on critical issues in social work and social welfare (24 semester hours), quantitative/qualitative research methodologies (12 semester hours), and professoriate training and mentoring in research, teaching, and service. The program requires a minimum of 36 semester hours of course work beyond the MSW degree and 84 semester hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. Because students must achieve competency requirements, they may need to take additional course work to achieve these competencies. The program emphasizes enhancement of scholarship through: 1. applied social work research in diverse community settings and populations of the Southwest; 2. teaching, from syllabus development to classroom teaching across the professional continuum; 3. participation in collegial decision making; and 4. participation in field education and community services.
