Social Work Practicum & Integrative Seminar II

Catalog description

This course is a three-credit course including supervised practice experience in an organization providing human services for a variety of client populations. It places emphasis on increased knowledge and skills for working with client systems, i.e., individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
