SWRK 4110 - Field Experience and Seminar II

This is the second of two field education courses that entails two hundred (200) hours practicing in a human service agency under the guidance of an agency social worker and a faculty member. Biweekly seminars continue as a required part of the course as in SWRK 4100. Field placement forms an integral part of the preparation of students for professional responsibilities in social work and serves as the integration of coursework into actual practice. Students continue to develop a working knowledge of the agency’s functions, structure, processes, and its service provider role within the community. Students improve their abilities to apply knowledge and develop skills in conducting problem identification, data collection, problem assessment, and goal formulation with the client systems in the context of social work values and ethics. Students continue to integrate self-awareness and appreciation of diversity into professional practice. The BSW field experience emphasizes generalist work practice at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
