The
Ph.D. in Social Welfare Program
The Graduate Center of the City University of New York offers the Ph.D. Program in Social Welfare at the
Hunter College School of Social Work. The program prepares professional social workers for leadership in human services and higher education.
The program’s emphasis is to develop
student capacity to contribute to social work practice
knowledge. The areas of knowledge development include: the design, implementation, and evaluation of social policies
and programs; clinical interventions and services; and
social welfare education and training programs. The program
accepts up to 15 students each year and requires that the
candidate have at least three years of post-master's work
experience.
In any given year, the applicant pool averages
between 50 to 70, enabling the program to select a highly
qualified and diverse student body. Almost without exception, students remain full-time professionals while
attending the program. A small pool of non-matriculated
part-time students are admitted annually to specific
elective classes. |
