Has anyone heard anything about A.T. Still's PhD program in Health Science (apparently it is almost entirely online along with a Doctorate in Health Education? I have an M.S.W. (as well as a Masters in medical anthropology and a Masters in Health Education), and would like to eventually teach Social Work practice at a c.c. or university (I am not really interested in research at all). I realize that I am able to teach at a c.c. with only my M.S.W., but the PhD will also be helpful in my current career as a social worker.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, and welcome to the fora! I am not in your field and I am not familiar with the program you mention. However, as a rule you should know that if what you want is to teach at the postsecondary level, you should not even consider doing an online program. There have been some discussions of this in the past, but the Forum search engine is notoriously user-unfriendly, so I'll just share the bottom line: while an online degree can be useful for things like salary advancement in an existing job, and can also help broaden one's credentials, it is
not good preparation for an academic career. You might be able to pick up some adjuncting, especially if you have good professional background, but would almost certainly not be considered a real candidate for a long-term position.
