An Evaluation of the University of Pennsylvania DSW Program
Solomon, Phyllis; Schultz, Neena; Corcoran, Jacqueline
Journal of Social Work Education, v59 n3 p715-726 2023
Currently, Doctorate in Social Work (DSW) programs are proliferating, but with limited empirical data to direct planning efforts. To fill this gap in knowledge, this article reports on the findings of an evaluation undertaken on the first DSW of its kind. This evaluation had three components: (1) an environmental scan of DSW programs; (2) a survey of current students and alumni; and (3) a review of all completed dissertations. Relevant results are presented, along with implications for changes to the DSW program based on this quality-improvement effort.
