Adequate time is built into this professional program to provide students with opportunities to test their developing skills in social services agencies and programs. At the same time, faculty members evaluate the studentβs professional development within the context of the educational objectives established for the experience.

The School of Social Work supports social work majors in the entry-level foundation sequence and social work majors approved to advance to the practice sequence. Social work majors typically spend their first and second year completing the foundation sequence. After completing the requirements below, social work majors may apply for approval to advance to the practice sequence.
