Ph.D.: Conference Courses

Conference courses (395K) provide students with an opportunity to study special topics of interest to members of the social work profession. In all respects, conference courses should meet the standards of other courses offered in the social work program. The guidelines below are intended to help students structure their conference course in a manner consistent with the educational standards of the School of Social Work. Supervised practicum and/or research experience may be used as a component of a conference course, but all conference courses must contain substantial reading and writing components as well as regularly scheduled meetings with the instructor to assist in the integration of course material.
