FIELD PRACTICE COURSES
All Social Work programs are fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE) and are organized as sequences which combine studies in the social sciences, the humanities, and other course options along with professional courses in social work. The objective of the programs is to prepare graduates for generalist Social Work practice and for graduate Social Work study. Field education is an essential requirement of the Social Work program, and successful completion of Field Education courses is required for graduation. This may involve travel and/or weekend hours, and students are responsible for transportation to and from their field placement. All students will be assigned a field placement in a human service organization or community setting. Theory and Practice of Generalist Social Work courses SWRK-3360, SWRK-3370, SWRK-3380, and SWRK-3390 are taken prior to Field Education courses.
