The field internship is such that it would ideally be best to experience it without the additional stress of an outside job. We are, however, aware that a majority of our students take a part-time job during their field placement. We have an excellent field placement program which offers a wide variety of services dedicated to helping students find a job after graduation. Experienced staff members provide resume and cover letter review, on-campus workshops during the summer academic sessions, and individual career counseling both on and off campus. The Office also houses individual reference files, a career resource library, and the Smith College Career Advisory Service, a computerized network of 15,000 college and social work alumni who have volunteered to advise other smith students and alumni about their work and post-Smith studies.
Services are free to students and graduates for two years following graduation.
Health insurance is required by all students attending our program.
