Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite

Students integrate theory with practice by completing a 700 hour placement at an agency setting supervised by an experienced and qualified Field Instructor. The placement is intended to prepare students to function as professional social workers upon graduation. Students will be assigned a Faculty Advisor and are expected to attend Integrative Seminars delivered by their Faculty Advisor. Note 1: The School of Social Work assumes responsibility for locating placements and contracting with the setting to provide a suitable learning experience. Note 2: Students will be given permission to enrol in AP/SOWK 4000 6.00 by the Field Office. Note 3: Post-Degree BSW Honours majors normally complete the practicum requirement by spending two to five days per week in their field placement. Direct Entry BSW Honours majors are expected to spend three days per week in the field. Note 4: While the student's performance is evaluated jointly by the Field Instructor and Faculty Advisor, the School of Social Work determines whether the student has met the requirements which determine a passing grade.
