SWK 481 - Social Work Practicum I

Field education provides the opportunity for social work students to demonstrate competency in practice, integrating knowledge, values and skills gained in the professional education curriculum. The first practicum experience in the Bachelor of Social Work program allows the student to develop and demonstrate beginning practice competency, laying the foundation for the final field experience (SWK-S 482). Students spend 15 hours per week for the 16-week semester in the agency and receive weekly supervision from an approved agency-based field instructor.
