Social Work Senior Field Practicum

The Senior Field Practicum is an experiential learning opportunity that challenges students to link social work knowledge, values, and skills with applied practice. Students, field instructors, and faculty integrate practice and theory from academic coursework to the practicum experience.

The Field Practicum structure consists of two components.

1. Agency placement - gives students experience with entry-level social work through the application of problem-solving and planned change models for diverse populations. This experience is under field instructor supervision.
2. The weekly on-campus seminar - provides opportunities for discussion, critical reflection, skills training, and community agency networking.

The student must complete 400 hours within an approved community agency.
