MSWK 6689 - Field Practicum I: Orientation and Seminar

Credits: 3
This course prepares students for responsible entry into the social work profession by providing opportunities to practice social work with a generalist perspective in agency settings under educational supervision. This beginning experience includes service to vulnerable and oppressed populations while learning generalist skills. Students are placed in a human service setting under an approved social work professional. The practicum placement guides students into becoming culturally competent, self- reflective and self-evaluating generalist social workers. Students are required to complete a 200-clock hour field practicum over the semester in an approved field agency.
