SWRK 272 - Social Work Internship

Credit(s): 3
Contact Hours: 3

The purpose of this course is to permit mature students to engage in supervised field work in a human service agency. An understanding of the social work field is achieved through first-hand experience by interacting with professionals and the clients of the agency. Students will apply the knowledge they’ve learned throughout their academic career by writing journal entries that describe their experience, struggles, conflicts, feelings, and self-reflections on the knowledge they are gaining. Students will also write a paper at the end of their internship that applies their academic knowledge to the internship and summarizes their experience. Prerequisite(s): SWRK 100, SWRK 150 and SWRK 160
