SWRK 4311 - Field Experience II & Lab

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: Restrictions: Social Work majors only. Prerequisites: SWRK 4310; same prerequisite requirements as SWRK 4310.
The second of two courses in the Field Practicum sequence which is designed to demonstrate students’ abilities to selectively develop plans of intervention for various client systems levels. Students are required to complete the remaining 205 clock hours of field practicum at agencies pre-approved by the Field Coordinator during the first Field Practicum unless a change of agency is deemed necessary. The field practicum and lab experiences will allow students an opportunity to perform with more effectiveness as they gain further knowledge of the activities of bureaucratic organizations and as they engage in practice skills and interventions under strict supervision. Particular emphasis is placed upon the value and knowledge of the distinctive characteristics of diverse client groups and the development of culturally appropriate practice interventions. After completion of this practicum experience, students will be able to interpret policy and implement services for individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations at the entry professional level.
