Clinical scholarship track in the PhD program

Wayne State University's School of Social Work is accepting applications for a Clinical Scholarship Track within our Ph.D. program.

The track will prepare graduates for important careers in clinical social work teaching, scholarship, and research, as well as for leadership positions in the greater clinical social work community.

The new track is consistent with the School's time‐honored commitment to excellence in education for clinical practice. The Clinical Track is not a separate program; it is part of the existing doctoral program.

  • Clinical Scholarship Track students will, like all other doctoral students, take courses in research methods and statistics and complete a doctoral dissertation.
  • Unique features of the Clinical Track curriculum include:
  1. a course in advanced clinical theory
  2. a two‐course sequence in applied clinical practice
  3. a doctoral‐level clinical practicum for students with fewer than five years of postgraduate practice experience, with clinical liaison provided by clinical‐track doctoral program faculty

Application deadline is December 18 for the following fall.
