MSW Field Education
Field education is a central component of the MSW curriculum. Field provides the necessary opportunity for students to apply and integrate classroom learning with actual practice. The practicum provides students a range of learning opportunities in order to facilitate his/her application of theories and skills in a supervised agency situation.
The MSW program offers two field practicums aimed at enhancing, promoting, maintaining, and restoring social functioning in the community.
The generalist placement provides students with learning opportunities to assess needs and resources, provide basic direct services, obtain services, and improve service delivery systems. The MSW generalist year is a foundation for the clinical year, which prepares students for community-based, entry-level clinical practice.
The clinical placement is a community-based, clinically-oriented experience that enables students to apply specific interventions from various models of treatment (including psychosocial, crisis intervention, and sociobehavioral) in their clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups. Drawing from the relationship between micro, mezzo, and macro practice, the clinical practicum allows students to deepen and extend their assessment and intervention skills with individuals, families, and groups.
