Field Education is the core pedagogy of social work education and practice. The Field Education Department works with over 600 agencies and organizations and places over 800 students annually. The dual goal of the department is to connect the theoretical framework to social work practice; and to support students as they learn to master the knowledge and skills of the profession while serving individuals, families, neighborhoods, and communities with dignity and respect.
