Field Placement
Local social work agencies and departments serve as field placement sites for our students. Prior to placement, staff from our Field Education Department, faculty advisors and students meet to discuss concentration field objectives and learning goals. Students are matched with agencies and field instructors based on their learning objectives. Field placement in a student's employing agency is possible; however, this request requires approval from the Field Education director.
