This course introduces you to a full-time, supervised practicum experience in a social work setting of your choice. The field practicum provides you with an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge, values, skills, and research that you have learned in your social work classes. You are required to be in practicum for 400 hours. You will work with a range of diverse populations, and will make community connections. During the practicum, you will intervene with individuals and families, but will also develop an understanding of sociopolitical issues, oppression, discrimination, injustice, and their impact on clients. A major piece of the practicum is the completion of a research project that contributes to the practicum setting.
