MSW degree requirements consist of coursework, a field internship and, for students choosing the thesis option, a thesis embodying original research. Generally, individual programs are developed co-operatively by the student and a faculty adviser. Specified supplementary studies may be required for some students, depending on their background and area of interest. Internship The Clinical Institute of the School of Social Work provides on-site opportunities for advanced clinical practice internships, including practice opportunities with observation, supervision, research and evaluation. Although consideration will be given to all factors affecting the location and type of all social work internships, the final decision regarding internship rests with the School of Social Work.
Students are responsible for their own financial support during the internship.
