Combined MSW/PhD Program

Enrollment in the Combined MSW/PhD Program will begin in Fall 2009. Applicants may apply to the program with their application to the MSW program, or they may apply in their first year as a matriculated student in the Rutgers MSW program (application deadline March 15).

Application requirements are the same as for the PhD program: GRE scores, three letters of reference, personal statement, transcripts, and application form. It is anticipated that enrollment will be 1 or 2 highly qualified MSW students per year.

Students in the Combined Program must be registered full-time. They will take a block field placement in the summer following completion of their foundation year in the MSW program, and begin taking PhD courses in the Fall of their second year. The selection and sequencing of PhD courses will be made in consultation with the PhD Program Director and the student’s faculty advisor.
