Description
SOCW 420. FIELD PLACEMENT I. In this course, students are placed in social service organizations under the supervision of social work practitioners who are “teachers” in the field (field instructors) and under the careful guidance of the on-campus faculty. Students do not simply “work” in the setting, but are guided by specific learning outcomes. The goals of the field placement experience are to link the traditional curriculum with experiential learning through the development of a professional self and the development of foundational generalist practice skills with clients and client systems. Prerequisites: Senior status and faculty approval. Fall semester only, four hours.
