Social Work
In addition to the classroom, you’ll complete 2 field experiences to develop your confidence and competence. In your junior year, you’ll do 180 hours to build general social work experience in a multi-service, community based agency serving an ethnically diverse population; in your senior year, 400 hours in a setting tailored to your passions, interests and career goals. These practica will provide an opportunity to network with over 600 alums and other social workers in the community, often obtaining a job immediately after graduation.
