SWRK 470 - Field Placement I
Credits: 6
This course is introductory experiential learning in the field of social work. Placements are found through the self-selection process. Students are now performing the duties and responsibilities of a social worker at a distinct placement site, therefore expanding their knowledge, skills, abilities and cognitive affective processes of the human service field through direct practice. This application course allows students to practice in the field of social work under the supervision of a trained field instructor. Requires 200 hours of field education at placement site. In addition to the direct work at the placement site, students will also engage in discussion with faculty and peers regarding issues that arise in the field of social work including ethical concerns, social justice and diversity issues, as well as questions related to self-discovery. This course will encourage you to think creatively, consider contextual influences, and apply theory and research in the field.
