Field Placement
The field experience constitutes 600 hours over two terms (12 credit hours) for BASW majors. This occurs in the Fall and Spring of the student's Senior year. Students are in a single placement for both terms; they spend 8 hours per day, 3 days per week, for 14 weeks in field each term. This occurs concurrently with classes, especially the Practicum and Seminar Lab I and II. Part-time students complete the field Practica and Seminar and Lab courses during their last year of study following the completion of all course work.
BASW majors attend a Field Placement Planning Meeting in November of their junior year. At that time they receive an Information Packet and a Request for Field Placement Form, the timeline for placing BASW majors, and other information they will need to be familiar with during the placement process.
