Field education is an integral educational component of the BSW Program and is designed to provide students with opportunities for:
- a minimum of 720 hours of field-based learning experiences in community agencies
- the application of social work theory to practice in a social work setting
- regular professional field instruction
- professional development as generalist social work practitioners through work with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations
- an Integration Seminar designed to help students integrate field experiences with academic course content
Our Field Education program also offers professional development opportunities for our community-based field instructors through workshops and programs throughout the year.
