SW 650 - Field Practicum III


The field practicum courses are the signature pedagogy of the LC Master of Social Work Program. Students’ progress through the practicum courses in order, with completion of each being a prerequisite for the next. Field Practicums III & IV build upon the foundation year field practicums and reinforce the integration of academic content with direct client practice in a chosen concentration or advanced generalist internship setting. The advanced clinical practice courses directly integrate several assignments which are to be implemented in the field practicum setting. Both advanced field practicum courses more fully develop and deepen students’ ability to understand and integrate theoretical perspectives and models and evidence-based interventions into direct supervised practice with diverse client populations in a broad range human service settings. Field Practicum’s III and IV include supervised field experience totaling 466 hours in an approved internship agency setting (233 per semester). Students in the advanced year Field Practicum courses continue to demonstrate proficiency in and work toward mastery of CSWE competencies and practice behaviors. Students are evaluated twice each semester by the Field Supervisor to assess progress toward goals and tasks set forth in the student’s learning plan and to measure attainment of each competency and corresponding practice behaviors. Students must make application for advanced year field placement and plan to complete both advance year field courses during the advanced year. There may be circumstances which require exceptions to the traditional semester placement which will be handled on an individual basis and according to Field Educational Policy. 3 hrs
