Introduction to Practice I (SLWK 1296)

Practice I is offered in the first year of the BSW Program

Social Work Practice I provides students with an opportunity to observe and begin to participate in direct practice with individuals, groups, or communities. This introductory practicum will expose students to the complexity of practice issues related to work in human services and to view societal issues from a social work perspective. During this first practicum experience, students are challenged to examine how their social location influences their work with clients or client groups. Students are expected to demonstrate a beginning understanding of social work as a distinct profession.

You will complete practice hours (75) plus integrative seminar hours (25) for a total of 100 hours.
