Licensure & Post-Graduate

The doctoral program at ASU is designed to prepare social work scholars for leadership in social work research, education, service, and practice. Graduates enter careers in applied research that enhance human well-being, particularly among oppressed and vulnerable populations, and educate the next generation of social workers. Our graduates play key roles in integrating inclusive design in their research and education activities. Our doctoral program provides an individualized program of study that nurtures students’ curiosity and creativity in pursuit of their intellectual passions. We offer an interdisciplinary curriculum that gives students a unique degree of intimacy and breadth of choice. The School of Social Work welcomes inquiries from students exploring the Ph.D. program. We are pleased to arrange personalized meetings with prospective applicants, either by phone or in person, as well as schedule campus tours. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Lela Rankin, PhD Director at [email protected] or visit the PhD webpage.

Syllabi Request

While you still have access to your previous coursework’s Canvas courses, we recommend you return to them and download all the syllabi and save them (as pdf’s) in a folder you will maintain access to after graduation. There are some states that, when applying for licensure, may request syllabi from your courses. We keep master copies from courses and the Course Catalog Search will only provide descriptions, as will we in some instances. Therefore, you may want copies of these courses for your own records.

Practicum Verification Letter

• Verification of Practicum:
  • If you are needing a verification of the practicum completion but not an explanation of what was done during your internship, then send the request to [email protected].
• Verification of Practicum actions:
  • It is recommended you ask your site supervisor for a letter of practicum completion. ASU will always be able to verify that your practicum was completed but we will not be able to provide details as to the quality and services completed during that time. While it's "fresh", we recommend asking your site(s) for letters speaking to your accomplishments and quality of services.
