The Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) degree culminates in a full-semester internship during the student's final semester. This internship begins after all social work intervention coursework has been completed and provides an immersive, hands-on learning experience in the field.
Students are required to complete a minimum of 450 hours in an approved community-based social work setting, under the guidance of a qualified field instructor. Internship placements are available across a wide range of agencies and organizations throughout the region, offering diverse opportunities aligned with students' interests and career goals.
