Internships & Coops

 

Social work students often find the field practicum one of the most valuable and exciting aspects of our program. In their senior year, students put their knowledge and skills into practice. A faculty member, appointed as the coordinator of field practicum, assists in placing students at local agencies and programs. A wide variety of settings is available for students to consider. Once placed, students are supervised by a social worker who is employed at their agency. As part of the practicum experience, students engage in original research and present their findings at a local and/or regional conference.
