Internship I

Catalog description

This two-semester requirement provides supervised learning and practice within social work programs in a wide range of program settings. Students spend 16 hours per week in an internship placement. Individual internship placements are arranged with each student by the internship coordinator. In order to receive credit, students must satisfactorily complete both SW 880 and SW 881 . A concurrent integrative seminar is required. In this weekly seminar, attention is given to the development of generalist social work skills, discussion of social work ethics & values, and the development of appropriate professional relationships. The importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in social work is also addressed. A primary goal is to integrate classroom learning with the internship experience.
