This advanced level practicum builds on the SW 740 advanced practicum and the foundation practicum, and prepares students to practice as social workers at the advanced level in public and private settings. The advanced practicum focuses on the application of theory, knowledge, and skills, and integrates the social work competencies developed in the advanced curriculum year with practice experience in community-based agencies to address complex needs and problems. Students have the opportunity to choose areas of specialization, and work in community- based agencies that provide services in that area of specialization. This course includes specified hours per semester of seminar and experiential learning.
