101 Coursework: Ph.D. Handbook
101 Coursework
101.1 Educational Objectives
- Deepen students' understanding of clients' psychological functioning and psychosocial contexts
- Broaden students' knowledge of strategies and interventions for change
- Enhance students' mastery of methods for studying clinical processes and modes for articulating and developing practice knowledge
Course descriptions are in the Ph.D. Program brochure. Students take all required courses in sequence. Class schedules and course syllabi are distributed at summer registration. Unless otherwise noted, classes meet 4 hours/week and receive 2 credits each.
As the doctoral degree is intended to denote a balanced professional education in advanced clinical social work theory and practice, rather than just the accumulation of a fixed number of credit hours, supplemental study related to clinical learning needs or independent assignments for specialized career objectives may be required of individual students.
