Doctoral Admissions
The application for admission to the 2026-2027 academic year is paused, and we will resume in the following cycle for the 2027-28 academic year.
The University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice is pausing admissions to the Doctoral program for one year while we undertake a comprehensive review of the doctoral program. Because of this review, we will not be admitting a new cohort of PhD students until the 2026-27 academic year and will resume admissions in the following cycle for the 2027-2028 academic year.
This pause will allow for a thoughtful and thorough review of the program, led by our faculty with the intention of strengthening the program to better serve future students and reflect the changing landscape of higher education and research careers.
We encourage you to remain connected with us and to check our website for updates on the program and the next admissions cycle.
