FIELD PLACEMENTS

The process of assigning a student to an agency for field placement is a careful and thoughtful one, designed to match each student's educational needs with a specific agency. Although the School is unable to guarantee a particular geographic area for field placement, students are asked to identify their preferred geographic choices. The School is committed to taking into account the personal circumstances of students when making placement decisions and works with students to meet their educational needs as closely as possible. First year placements are specifically chosen to provide students a strong foundation for clinical social work practice. The second year internship offers an opportunity not only to deepen clinical skill and experience, but also to develop areas of specialization within the field.
