Hi everyone! I’m finishing my Master’s in Public Administration and Nonprofit Management, and recently I realized that pursuing an MSW might have been a better fit—especially since I’d like to start a practice and eventually pursue a PhD (I’m also interested in teaching/research).
Since I’m graduating in May, it’s a bit late to switch paths now. I’ve been considering going straight into a PhD in Social Work, especially since some programs include the MSW along the way.
I’d love to hear thoughts from folks who got their MSW first and pursued a PhD later/went straight into a PhD without an MSW.
Any insights or advice would be really appreciated, tks!!
