Bachelors of Science in Social Work (BSSW) Student Practicum Information
A capstone practicum education experience is required to graduate from the Bachelor of Science in Social Work (BSSW) program; students will complete this during their final semester. Practicum education will provide the opportunity to apply what students have learned in the classroom and demonstrate mastery of the nine CSWE competencies. Students will work closely with the BSSW Practicum Director to integrate specific learning goals into a hands-on, real-world experience with a community partner agency.
Practicum and Seminar are only offered in the fall and spring semesters. Practice requires a minimum of 440 practicum hours which averages to 28 hours per week for 15 weeks. For additional policies and procedures regarding the Practicum Education experience, please contact the BSSW Practicum Director.
