BSW Field Education

Field Education

Field practicum provides opportunities to learn, increase self-awareness of, and use your social work skills. Placement provides an arena in which you can test yourself and your commitment to social work attitudes and values, noting consistencies and inconsistencies between classroom and agency.

Seminar

To help bridge the transition from student to worker, a weekly integrative, strengths-based seminar accompanies field placement. Participation in this seminar is a vital component of placement; here, you will discuss your field experience.

Seminar content is developed around issues you will experience and cope with in placement. In addition, there are a series of written and oral assignments. Refer to the BSW Field Manual (PDF) for information about course content and criteria for admission into the field practicum courses.
