The student handbook is a comprehensive guide to surviving and thriving during your graduate studies.

Practicum education is more than a curriculum requirement — it is your opportunity to gain professional social work experience while earning your MSW.

By immersing themselves in other environments, social workers can expand their self-awareness and cultural consciousness. Our transformational international and out-of-region shared practicums can help you broaden your global perspective to better understand and address social injustice.

Practicums with an enhanced curricular focus generally include classroom seminars or networking sessions. Some may also provide stipends or awards. A selection of these opportunities is highlighted below.
