SW 638 - Field Instruction IV and Seminar

3 Credit(s)

This is the specialization year, two-semester field instruction placement. Students work in a supervised social work setting for 20-24 hours per week. Field Instruction III & Seminar and Field Instruction IV & Seminar provide students with the opportunity to further examine and integrate the theories and skills of agency-based clinical social work practice with individuals, families, and small groups; to develop and refine clinical assessment, intervention, and evaluation skills; and to consolidate their own identities as professionally disciplined and self-aware professional social workers. Field Instruction III & Seminar and Field Instruction IV & Seminar build upon the generalist social work practice perspective introduced in the prerequisite courses.
Prerequisite(s): SW 637
Corequisite(s): For on-campus MSW students, SW 639 is a corequisite.
