New Doctor of Social Work Program Coming to UMB in Fall 2026
The University of Maryland School of Social Work (UMSSW) will launch a new Doctor of Social Work (DSW) program in fall 2026.
The cohort-based program is an advanced practice doctorate designed to prepare Master of Social Work graduates who have at least two years of postgraduate practice experience for leadership roles in academic, agency, and private practice settings.
Building on UMSSW’s long-established PhD in Social Work, the DSW program emphasizes collaborative learning and professional growth in the areas of advanced clinical practice, supervision, leadership, teaching, and applied research.
