Field Practice

*Internship is recommended and an invaluable tool to prepare students for employment in the human services field. Students who choose not to take internship must complete HSRV 439 and another 300 or 400-level course in this department that is approved by the student’s advisor. Students who do not meet the placement guidelines (including academic performance and recommendations) for SOWK 461 may enroll instead in HSRV 439 to fulfill part of the core requirements for the Human Services major. This course may also serve as an elective for minors. See the Department Chair for more information concerning internship placement.
