FOUNDATION PRACTICUM SEMINAR I

Catalog description

This is the first course in a two-part course sequence designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to develop and integrate foundational knowledge, skills, values and cognitive and affective processes within a classroom and human services agency-based setting. Students are required to complete 200 hours across 14 weeks (14-15 hours per week) in a pre-approved social service agency. This experiential learning opportunity, guided by professional supervision, familiarizes the student with the agency setting, social worker's role in the setting, and foundational social work practice skills. No credit will be given for only one semester of practicum work.
