Senior Seminar

Catalog description

This seminar course is a bridge between classroom and field. It is a professional development course and requires students to complete a senior portfolio. Understanding that field education is the signature pedagogy for social work, it is essential that students are prepared for and understand the importance of a successful field experience. This undergraduate field seminar provides the opportunity for students to reflect on the application of theory and classroom learning while adapting professional attitudes and behaviors. The seminar environment is for students to process expected field experiences and their capacity to pursue beginning generalist practice. Students will be expected to engage in in-depth self-examination, be open to new ideas and input from others, and continually evaluate their own knowledge, values, and skills.
