Ph.D. Program

At the heart of the Institute is our four-year doctoral program. The program is a non-resident, full-time course of study arranged to avoid interruption of our students’ clinical employment. While many of the students who enroll in our Ph.D. program are licensed clinical social workers, this is not a requirement for admission. Classes meet at the Institute on Friday afternoons and all day Saturday on alternating weekends, from September to December and from January to June. Completion of the doctoral requirements results in the acquisition of the Ph.D. in clinical social work.
