Field Education

Field Education, an integral component of the MSASS program, enables students to gain valuable experience in the social work profession, preparing them to function as competent practitioners  upon graduation.  Field practice opportunities are used to integrate the core knowledge, skills and values inherent in the profession utilizing our Ability-Based Learning Environment as the structure for field internships. In some instances, the field site offers employment opportunities to students upon graduation.  In all instances, the field education experience provides students with multiple opportunities to become proficient in the world of work. The Field Education Seminar supplements the placement experience and provides students the opportunity to explore their strengths and preferences through discussion, and through instruments such as Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Learning Style Inventory. For more information, regarding Field Education, students may contact Field Education Director Scott Wilkes at 216.368.2240.
