Advanced Practicum II

Catalog description

During this second part of the advanced MSW fieldwork course, students are expected to complete 250 hours of supervised fieldwork experience at an approved social work agency/organization. This course builds on the experiential learning in MSW-550 : Advanced Practicum I and continues the application of classroom knowledge. This course provides students the opportunity to discuss practice situations, professional development issues, the relationship of field to classroom learning and skills necessary for effective practice. Students will focus on more complex, micro, mezzo and/or macro learning in diverse community social service agencies/ facilities. Fieldwork culminates in a written report describing the students’ area of study. The report includes the student’s reflection on the experience and conclusions.
