This 24-credit curriculum provides education and skill development in the values, concepts and processes that are the core of all social work practice. Course work in Human Behavior and the Social Environment, Social Policy, Research, and Social Work Practice helps students develop a problem-solving framework. Students also complete a two-semester practicum, two days a week, in a social service placement where, with the support and supervision of a Field Instructor, they engage in carefully supervised and progressively responsible social work practice. (Students may begin taking certain advanced courses in the semester following completion of SOWK 630 and SOWK 635.) The goal of the Foundation Curriculum is to provide for all students a sound, broad base for future practice in all concentrations and specialized fields of practice.
