PhD Social Work/Welfare Applications: Fall 2026

[Rowenthamp]

Hello all.

Starting this thread for Fall 2026.

I have three PhD applications in (University of Tennessee, University of Texas - Austin, and Indiana). Submitted all in November.

No action yet.

Hi! I submitted three as well: Bryn Mawr College, University at Albany, and Sacred Heart University. One interview so far, no results yet.

May we manifest success with all that comes our way!

[Rowenthamp]

Good luck! One interview since my initial post. Waiting to hear back from the others.
