Apply your learning and gain experience through assignments in a professional social service setting.
Gaining Experience, Skills and Connections in the Field
Our nationally accredited programs offer experience with a wide range of roles and settings, including schools, medical centers, mental health centers, government agencies, and community-based organizations.
The breadth and depth of experience you’ll gain will well prepare you to become an effective professional. It will also develop your collaborative skills and give you a chance to explore different interests before choosing a particular path within the profession.
These credit-bearing practicum experiences with our community partners include impactful field-based learning through the following:
- Profound and relational practice opportunities across multiple settings and multiple fields of practice
- Collaborative approaches to professional social work consultation, supervision, and mentorship
- Contributions to the work, commitments, and mission of the organization where you are placed
- Personal development of deep and meaningful areas of interest and concerns upon which to focus their own entrance into professional practice, advocacy, and/or activism
