SOWK 202 - Applied Learning Experience

1 hour
This course is designed for transfer students who have not completed sufficient practicum hours in their introduction to social work courses. It is the same service learning component that those students enrolled in SOWK 200 take as part of their requirements for that course. It requires the student to participate in social service work for a minimum of 30 clock hours over the course of a semester, or about two hours per week. The goals of the course are to (1) enable students to participate in the actual on-site work of social services and to (2) enable students to make a more educated decision about their interest in pursuing further education in social work. Students will be exposed to diverse systems and populations where social workers are employed. UG
