Students will be in their field placement two days a week each semester, including the Winter term, in the first year and two and a half days a week the second year. Students are placed in a variety of social service agencies approved by the Social Work Program. Students can expect to be in one agency placement for the first year and move to another practicum setting the following year. All students are under the supervision of an MSW field instructor. The courses are taken in sequence with all students in the same entering class taking the same courses.
Students take an average of ten units each semester.
The field practicum requirements are similar to those for the full-time program.
