The information provided in this comment is extremely inaccurate and defamatory. If you are going to go around and try to spread rumors to discredit someone, put some respect on her name and spell it properly. I’m certain your confusion of her explaining her role and duties is misrepresented in your statement. If you are a DC resident, I would implore you to apply to the program on your merits that meet the minimum requirements as well as every other candidate that will be applying.

Just because she is telling her ministry about the opportunity, doesn’t mean that she’s trying to reserve it for her ministry only. It’s a DC based program and you have to be a resident of the city to even apply. If you don’t know for sure, I wouldn’t go and comment this, because this can discourage DC residents from applying.

I would like more information about the program. I would also like to know if the general masters in social work if it’s offered online?

My name is Mr. Yusuf A. Rahman a DC resident. I was accepted in what I thought was such a program this fall school year of 2024 at UDC come to find out the funds for that program was being used for another program and the MSW program at UDC does not start until the fall of 2025.

Moreover the accountability for insuring that DC residents only benefit from this program which the guidelines stipulates is awful thus giving students that are not from DC and are from majority Maryland and some from parts of Virginia these funds is appalling to say the least . Please get in contact with me I would like to tell you more

It seems to me this would be incredibly improper. This is a public university and this initiative would be with the use of public funds. Sounds like nepotism to me.

They have already reserved seats for a particular group they already work with in some private ministry. Director of program only shares this with her private ministry program

Did you find out? I know the director of the masters program at UDC, Dr. Brade, also conducts zoom meetings under her Christian leadership ministry telling them that they can get a master’s degree for free.

It think it’s reserved for her ministry. I’ve contact everyone in that department and no one replies.
