FOUNDATION CURRICULUM [24 CREDITS] The 24-credit Foundation Curriculum provides educational and skills development in the values, concepts, and processes that are the core of social work practice. Coursework in human behavior and the social environment, social work practice, social policy, and research helps students develop a problem-solving framework with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations. Students also complete a two-semester practicum, taken two days a week, in a social service placement where, with the help of a field instructor, they engage in carefully supervised and progressively more responsible social work practice. In the second semester, students may take two advanced courses selected from the vast array of options that are offered. The goal of the Foundation Curriculum is to provide students with a sound, broad base for future practice in all concentrations and specializations.
