Foundation Practicum I

5 credits · Graduate

Foundation Practicum I advances the experiential learning capacities and professional competencies of foundation MSW students. Supervised by a School-qualified social work practitioner employed in an approved agency-based setting (i.e., Practicum Instructor), MSW students will be exposed to a range of generalist learning opportunities along all phases of the intervention cycle (engagement, assessment, intervention, and/or evaluation) and various levels of the social ecology (individuals, families, groups, and/or communities) and meet generalist competency standards. These opportunities allow the student to practice, receive observationally-based feedback, refine professional competencies, and ultimately, have their competencies assessed.
