SOWK 6014 - FIELD EXPERIENCE/SEMINAR III

This practicum experience requires the student to complete 250 hours in an approved social work agency with an approved MSW supervisor. The specialization field experience requires that the student utilize clinical practice skills in the social work practice setting, thus strengthening the student’s emerging identity as a social work practitioner. Concurrently, students will participate in field seminar, which requires that students discuss theoretical frameworks and practice methods, as they apply to cases that are presented in the classroom. As a capstone course, students begin a clinical practice portfolio, which demonstrates their proficiency in accomplishment of all of the competencies and behaviors required by the Council on Social Work Education for master’s level social work practitioners.
