I see and I forget
I hear and I remember
I do and I understand

A major part of the student’s learning is acquired through field instruction, during the Junior and Senior years. In the Junior Practicum, an introductory field experience, students work in local social welfare agencies for eight hours per week. The Junior Practicum provides students with an opportunity to develop their practice skills in the areas of interviewing, recording and reporting, assessing agencies, problem-solving, and social service delivery. This gives students an early opportunity to test their aptitude and interest in Social Work. In the Senior Internship, students work 32 hours per week in social welfare agencies. Students carry a caseload of clients for whom they provide services under professional supervision.
