The initial class consisted of a total of 13 students from diverse backgrounds. The program is the only social work doctoral program in the state of Mississippi. It is affiliated with the Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education (GADE), which is an organization whose membership consists of directors of social work\/social welfare doctoral programs in accredited universities in the United States and two other countries. The organization provides guidelines for quality doctoral programs in social work. Since its inception, the program has continually developed and focused on accomplishing its mission.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.3; text-transform: none; color: #002147;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsums.edu\/graduateschool\/doctoral-admissions\/\">Division of\u00a0Graduate Studies<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.3; text-transform: none; color: #002147;\">\nApply &#8220;Online&#8221;\u00a0to the Division of Graduate Studies and to the School of Social Work.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.3; text-transform: none; color: #002147;\">\nFor more information, contact the <strong>Ph.D. Program Office at (601) 979-8896<\/strong>.
