Practicum Seminar IV

Catalog description

The advanced generalist practicum is designed to build upon and extend the knowledge and skills learned during the generalist curriculum. Advanced year social work students are required to complete 500 structured practicum hours across two semesters while successfully demonstrating advanced generalist-level practice behaviors. The practicum experience includes 250 hours of experience in a community setting per semester ( SWK 680 and SWK 681 ) and weekly seminars facilitated by the instructor. Practicum seminars are used to process practice experiences, promote reflection and growth, apply ethical standards, and engage in consultation with your Seminar Instructor and MSW program peers in a group setting. The advanced practicum experience must take place in a community setting that meets the social work education standards for advanced generalist practice and is coordinated by the MSW Practicum Director.
