| The Commonwealth's first doctoral program in social work offers the opportunity
for academically-motivated masters level social workers to continue their studies
at the doctoral level. Graduates will be prepared to serve as faculty members in
social work programs in Kentucky colleges and universities and institutions
nationally, and as administrators, planners, policy analysts, and program
evaluators for positions in a broad range of social service agencies.
The Ph.D. in Social Work is a single degree program offered by the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky. Students may matriculate in either institution, and they will experience professors from both universities in shared courses and in joint memberships on their doctoral committees. The program is administered under the purview of the Graduate Schools of the two institutions. Interested social workers should contact the institution where they plan to matriculate for additional information, as students are subject to the policies, standards, rules, and procedures of that institution.
