APPLIED LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Catalog description

This course is designed for transfer students who have not completed sufficient practicum hours in their introduction to social work courses, as well as all students completing SOWK 200. It requires the student to participate in social service work for a minimum of 30 clock hours over the course of a semester, or about two hours per week. The goals of the course are to (1) enable students to participate in the actual on-site work of social services and to (2) enable students to make a more educated decision about their interest in pursuing further education in social work. Students will be exposed to diverse systems and populations where social workers are employed.
