PhD - Social and Community Services
The field of social and community services requires individuals who are interested with improving their knowledge about societal issues that affect them. A PhD in Social and Community Services that Capella University offers its students is involved with societal welfare and community management. Its curriculum involves theoretical understanding of different social issues that could affect the communities. Since community service does not belong to any particular field, it gives its students a free reign on the approach on how they can tackle the subject. This gives a degree of mastery and freedom to choose interests and career goals in the field. Those who enroll in this degree should prepare themselves to the analysis of different relevant social issues that need to be addressed in order to better serve the communities and its people. They will be taught how to better deal with individuals who will in turn help them get the information they need to better help communities.
