What is the difference between the Masters in Social Work (MS) program at Columbia and the doctoral (Ph.D.) program?
The MSW program is the entry-level graduate degree for those students who plan to become practitioners providing direct social work services to client populations, performing agency-based administrative, advocacy or policy functions. The majority of our MSW graduates go on to provide their services in an agency-based setting. By contrast, the doctoral program is primarily designed to train researchers and scholars in social work and social welfare who will contribute to knowledge development advancing work of the profession and its practitioners.
