The Capstone for Social Work is a combination of practicum experience and classroom discussion and support. The focus is on learning by doing through the application of social work knowledge, values, and skills in a professionally supervised social service setting/agency for a total of 400 hours. Each field experience needs to be organized at least one semester ahead of the planned placement in order to complete interviews, background checks, paper work or other agency requirements. Students will coordinate with their field instructor and social service agency to create an appropriate field placement that meets all NASW requirements for social work licensure. Junior/Senior Social Work majors only.
