(3,3)

Prerequisites: SOWK 501 and SOWK 511
Co-requisites: SOWK 531

The generalist field experience provides an opportunity to apply the skills, knowledge, cognitive/affective processes, and values of generalist social work practice in a social service setting with diverse clients. The Generalist Field Practicum requires that students complete 400 hours of practicum time in an agency setting. SOWK 551 is completed across two semesters, one 15 week semester (fall or spring) and one 5 week semester (summer I or summer II). Students complete 20 hours of field time per week across both of those semesters to complete the required 400 hours. SOWK 501 and SOWK 511 must be taken before the student starts SOWK 551. SOWK 531 must be taken before or concurrent with the student’s first semester of SOWK 551 (551A).
