This course builds upon the beginning foundation of professional social work introduced in Social Work 3005 (0051). The focus of this continuing course, however, is on individual, family and group practice. Students will participate in several field experiences through which they can engage in selected service tasks, develop an understanding of the service delivery system and continue to test their own suitability for social work as a career. The course continues to examine the forms of oppression and injustice, populations at risk, diversity and human rights as they relate to work with people in client status, the social service delivery system, and society as a whole.
The course offers diverse opportunities for learning, including interactions with field and classroom instructors, peers, and other professionals, readings, lectures, and field visits. Note: Open to majors and minors.
