  • Areas of Interest

    (please check all areas of interest)
  • Students are responsible for identifying agencies in their home region. We encourage you to think about your areas of interest as you consider possible placement agencies, therefore, it is necessary for you to choose more than one area of practice that you are interested in gaining more skill and/or exposure to during the fieldwork process.



  • Learning Patterns

    Based on your learning style, in which agency setting do you believe you might learn best? (please check all that apply)
  • Additional Information

  • WNMU School of Social Work is committed to ensuring a high quality field practicum experience for all of its students; however, students may not always be placed in their most desired agency. Students are responsible for finding their own agency that has an MSW or LCSW who is employed with the agency and with at least 2 years of post-MSW practice experience to supervise them and then you must forward the agency name, the agency supervisor name, telephone number, and email address on your Agency Information Form, to your Field Internship Coordinator, so we can proceed with obtaining the agency paperwork. You must also follow up on agency paperwork to ensure that it is completed and returned.

  • Advanced Standing Students only: Advanced standing students from institutions other than WNMU must provide written documentation that the student was required to complete a minimum of 450 hours within their BSW Field Practicum during the application process to Field. Students who did not meet the 450 hour requirement will be required to complete any additional hours necessary to achieve this requirement before continuing practicum hours at the MSW level.
