| Social Work Program Description |
| The DSW will provide opportunities for existing Master of Social Work (MSW) practitioners to receive training in advanced practice skills and who may not prefer a traditional academic career (Council on Social Work Education and Group for the <br>Advancement of Doctoral Education in Social Work, 2020). Although these programs provide some research training, the primary focus is on enhancing the existing practice skills of MSW practitioners so that the workforce for the delivery of human services, such as mental health programs, can expand. The proposed DSW program will focus on providing MSW clinicians with advanced skills to serve urban families and communities. The program will provide advanced skills training in both micro and macro social work practice. |
