As of fall 2025, field education is now known as practicum education in the School of Social Work. However, you may still see references to “field education” in course titles, documents and other dated web content.
Our faculty and staff strive to assist students in their academic, practicum and career planning. By working closely with your advisor you will be able to focus your studies and experience in the field, further your knowledge of the profession and its grounding in research and gain insight into practice and professional opportunities.
