SWRK 4100 - BSW Field Education I

This course is designed to integrate classroom learning into the application of foundational social work practice in field placements or internships. The BSW field experience emphasizes generalist social work practice at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Placements are in organizations offering direct social work practice experiences with some combination of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Learning experiences are consistent with the foundation curriculum objectives, and the learning contract. Field education is the signature pedagogy of social work education, and demonstrates the integration of social work knowledge, values, and skills into social work practice. SWRK 4100 course is the first in a two-course sequence taken as a capstone of the BSW coursework; the second course is SWRK 4110.
