Doctorate Programs for Social Work Online

Employment opportunities for social workers continue to grow, in schools across the country, community programs for foster children, in geriatric facilities and more. Social workers are advocates for social justice and must genuinely care about people. Although a master's degree is becoming the minimum education needed for social workers, a PhD allows individuals to work in education, research and clinical services. There are quite a few programs for pursuing a doctorate online.
  1. Bryn Mawr College

    • The Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work was founded in 1915 and in most recent years has opened an online PhD distance learning program for adults. The program will prepare students for careers as advanced social work researchers and educators, who will be proficient in a wide array of conceptual and analytical tools and understand various levels and methods of practice.

      The classes have a set date and time when students need to meet online with professors and other students. This is not a self-paced program.
