I chose to pursue my education at UMB because of the program’s intensive, research-focused curriculum. I knew that the program would

provide me with exceptional research and data analysis training, including extensive opportunities to conduct, publish, and present.

UMB’s faculty is comprised of world-renowned scholars in social work research and the mentorship opportunities afforded to me

are abundant, unique, and invaluable.

The program’s focus on methodology, statistics, and rigor take you beyond your MSW to help you become a strong researcher. One thing I

love about Maryland is the fully integrated curriculum; every assignment builds on the next and leads to being fully prepared for a dissertation in your field of interest. The School, located on a professional campus with

the medical school, nursing school, and law school, provide unique opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaboration.
