This seminar introduces beginning doctoral students to the research activities of social work faculty and advanced students. Presentations will familiarize students with practical issues in the conceptual development and conduct of current research. May be repeated to a maximum of two credits.
This practicum experience provides the doctoral student an opportunity to conduct social work research under the supervision of a chosen faculty member. This experiential learning experience is expected to result in one or more reports suitable for submission to a scholarly journal at conclusion of the practicum.

Supervised teaching and other classroom experiences designed to prepare doctoral students to be social work educators.
This course provides an overview of the doctoral program, introduces students to expectations related to doctoral education, and addresses writing for academic and professional social work practitioners. Topics that will be covered include but are not limited to: orientation to the program, curriculum, and capstone project; academic writing for publication; and professional documentation across practice settings (e.g., case notes, contract writing, MOUs, etc.).
Advanced social work practice requires knowledge and skills related to competent data analysis. This course is grounded in the conceptual understanding of how data informs social work practice. Topics to be covered include but are not limited to: descriptive analysis, correlations, ANOVA, and regression. Students will gain familiarity with cleaning data, interpreting results and applying critical thinking to help them make sense of statistical presentations in published manuscripts, popular media, and other sources.
