Dottorato Servizio Sociale

The Ph.D. program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, School of Social Work equips students with tangible skills to use rigorous scientific methods to develop and disseminate knowledge, teach the next generation of social workers, and serve their communities.

Grounded in social work values and related theories, our social-justice-oriented students are prepared for leadership roles in conducting high-impact interdisciplinary work, educating students, and meeting the changing needs of a global social work landscape.

Our College addresses the challenges facing today's learners by advancing knowledge and impacting policy through research, teaching, and outreach.

We develop the tools, methods, and habits of mind that innovate; contribute to making education equitable and accessible to all learners; and prepare leaders, researchers, and passionate advocates committed to transforming learners of all ages.

We value the diverse perspectives of students, staff, and community friends of all backgrounds who come together in our College to inspire fresh discussions that lead to new avenues of research and exploration for a just future.
