SOWK 570 Generalist Field Education I

As the “signature pedagogy” for social work education, field education provides students the opportunity to apply ethics, values, knowledge, and skills in a practice setting, with supervision and support. In consultation with students, the MSW field education directior places each student in a field setting the semester preceding the student’s enrollment in SOWK 570. Each student completes 200 hours in the field education setting (and an additional 200 hours in SOWK 571). Students participate in field education seminar which is led by a faculty field liaison and meets seven times for 1 hour (these hours count toward the 200 hours). An MSW faculty member meets with each student and field education instructor a minimum of three times during SOWK 570. The grading system for this course is credit/no credit.
