Doctoral Group Independent Study

This elective offers students the opportunity for an in-depth examination of a substantive topic that is not comprehensively addressed by other required or elective doctoral courses. The topic is considered from either a theoretical, policy and/or research perspective. The topic area should have direct and substantial relevance to social work research, social work education, evidence-based practice, and/or social policy analysis. A course syllabus should be submitted to the Doctoral Program Director prior to registration.

Averages use numerical 1–5 ratings, including the ratings submitted with new anonymous reviews.
