Field agencies and partners

Field education is integral to the social work curriculum in preparing students for professional practice.

Many graduates and practicing professionals say that it was their field experience they valued most during their program. In the classroom, they are learning to know and understand; in the field, they are learning to do. It is only with your help that we can be a center of excellence for social work education.

Field placements are meant to introduce you to the field of social work, connect you with resources outside of the M.S.W. Program and turn theory into practice. What I didn’t expect was the transformative experience that shaped me not only as a social work student, but also as a person.”
