Online PhD Degree Programs-University of Utah
By onlinephd | January 29, 2009
Today’s blog of online PhD degree programs is about an American university, providing distance PhD in social work. The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City and it belongs to the ten institutions that make up the Utah System of Higher Education. It is a publicly funded research university and has been acclaimed to be the premier research school in the state, as it is the only university in the country that is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Research I university. The university currently offers 76 undergraduate programs with more than 28,000 students and almost a hundred graduate programs with almost 7,000 students. The University ranks 49th among the higher education institution in the country and is 79th in the world.
Aside from the school based courses available, the University of Utah also offers distance learning for those who want to pursue higher degree at the same time that they are doing their full time job. The university’s College of Social Work offers a doctorate degree, both as a full time course and as an online PhD degree program. This program aims to balance both theory and practice in the said field, thereby arming their students of strong conceptual and analytical skills. Likewise, the students are being honed to be prepared to undertake teaching facilities and responsibilities. The initial part of the program includes core courses while the second part mainly focuses on the dissertation process.
Admission in the college is viewed as a whole package, thereby allowing the strong components to augment the weaker ones. As a general rule, the applicant must possess a master’s degree in social work. Also, factors such as professional experience, training, test scores, scholarship and others are all combined to make up the application.
With admission application, you need to submit two official copies of transcript of your credits, recent TOFEL scores (for international candidates), personal statement, GRE scores, three letters of references and a sample paper (either published or submitted for a research publication).
