Internship IV

Catalog description

This is the second of the two semester internship requirement that provides advanced practice experience in a wide range of social work settings. Students spend 24 hours per week in an internship agency setting. Individual internship placements are arranged with each student by the internship coordinator. In order to receive course credit, students must satisfactorily complete both semesters ( SW 982 and SW 983 ). A concurrent integrative seminar is also required. The goal of the weekly seminar is to assist students in conceptualizing and integrating the multiple theoretical issues and practice concepts of course work and the practicum. This is considered the capstone course, where students will integrate all learning in the 9 social work competency areas. Professional development and career launching is also addressed. This is part two of the advanced year-long internship course. Students must have successfully completed the first half of internship and Internship Seminar 3 ( SW 982 ).
