SOWK 670 Specialized 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 director places each student in a field education setting the semester preceding the student’s enrollment in SOWK 670. Each student completes 250 hours in the field education setting (and an additional 250 hours in SOWK 671). 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 250 hours). The faculty field liaison meets with each student and field education instructor a minimum of three times during SOWK 670. The grading system for this course is credit/no credit.
