The 2020 GADE Director Survey aimed to understand program and student characteristics, support for students, curriculum focus and design, and students' job search support and outcomes in PhD and DSW programs. In general, PhD programs focus on building students' research capacities, including interdisciplinary research and leadership in higher education and research-oriented organizations, whereas DSW programs prepare students to contribute in the areas of clinical expertise, leadership in non-academic settings, and advancing social work practice at multiple levels. The program structure, curricula and graduation requirements are organized according to the distinct emphasis of each type of program. These findings have significant implications for doctoral programs as they navigate their strategic directions in the changing landscape of doctoral social work education.
