SWKR-6201 Advanced Seminar I

This course is offered in conjunction with SWKR-6303 (Advanced Practicum I) and, together, the courses are designed to provide a forum for the integration of empirically based social work theory and advanced social work practice. Special emphasis is given to the professional development of the student as an advanced social work practitioner within their chosen specialty track. The seminar affords an opportunity to learn from the diverse experiences of other students in their field placements. By using the field experience as a backdrop for assessing his or her own progress towards advanced social work practice, students are able to process professional growth and development issues. In this ½ credit hour course, students will meet synchronously for one hour, every other week. This course is broken up into two eight-week sections. Both are required to be completed with a successful passing grade.
