SWKR-6303 Advanced Practicum I

As the first course in the advanced practicum sequence, this course will give students additional exposure to professional social work practice. Students will engage in a supervised practicum experience in an agency that aligns with their chosen specialization track: School Social Work or Behavioral Health Practice. Taken concurrently with SWKR-6201 (Advanced Seminar I), this course will require students to obtain 250 clock hours of practicum experience over the course of a 16-week semester, for an average of 16 hours per week in field. This experience will require students to apply the knowledge, skills, values and ethics of advanced social work practice to their practicum settings. This course is broken up into two eight-week sections. Both are required to be completed with a successful passing grade. Prerequisites: SWKR-6001, SWKR-6011, SWKR-6163, and SWKR-6183, or acceptance into the Advanced Standing Program and completion of 12 credit hours of Advanced Practice courses. Co-requisites: SWKR-6201 and SWKR-6283.
