Our Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) program was developed with practitioners in mind. This high-quality, rigorous program prepares practitioners to navigate the complexities of a contemporary practice landscape by providing education and experiences congruent with advanced practice proficiency among specialized populations.
Courses are taught online through asynchronous models with the exception of residency week during the summer, which is taught synchronously. An asynchronous option is available for those who cannot be in attendance.
Choose from one of five concentrations: Administrative Leadership, Clinical Social Work, Social Work Education, Military Behavioral Health, or the newly launched Sport Social Work—the first concentration of its kind, designed to prepare social workers for impactful practice in athletic and sports-related settings.
Leverage our unique centers and labs, including the Training Resource Center, Interdisciplinary Research Center on Children and Families, Kentucky Kinship Resource Center, Self-Care Lab, Suicide Prevention and Exposure Lab, and Military Behavior Health Lab to enhance your learning and research.
