Field Placement
Dominican’s MSW field placement is an essential and integral part of the social work learning experience. It is the process by which students begin to integrate academic knowledge, social work values, and the skills needed for foundation and globally focused, family-centered social work practice. The placements are as diverse as the scope of social work, as it deals with all issues on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
Dominican MSW students have the option to participate in
domestic
and
international
field placements. At Dominican, placement begins for students in their first year of a
full time program. However, part time programs will dictate when the first year placement begins.
The first year placement is dedicated to the development and strengthening of engagement,
assessment, and intervention processes. These areas are reinforced with the ongoing concurrent
curriculum (especially the practice courses). The second year placement progresses to a higher
level of expectation.
"The school’s globally focused program intrigued me right from the start particularly the possibility of an international field placement. The professor to student ratio also allows me to work closely with experienced professors. "
