Students who enter the program without a master's degree must plan on an additional one to two years to complete the program and must select from among the following:

• Track I: MSW/Ph.D. program for students without a bachelor's degree in social work (students complete the equivalent of the two-year master's program while in the doctoral program)
• Track II: MSW/Ph.D. program for students with a bachelor's degree in social work (students complete the equivalent of the one-year master's program advanced generalist specialization in an area of focus; requires that students have a BSW from a CSWE accredited school of social work)
• Track III: Program for students who do not have a social work degree and who do not want an MSW (requires that students complete MSW generalist foundation courses and a 2-credit internship)

The doctoral program has four special features: an emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary research and training that seeks to promote optimal functioning in individuals or families across the life course; it stresses that social welfare problems are best understood in individual, family, community, economic, and cultural context; it conceptualizes research as a catalyst for social action and change; and it emphasizes methodological and statistical training and their applications to studying social problems and processes.
