Fieldwork and Practicum in Online MSW Programs
Fieldwork
Fieldwork is an integral part of an MSW education. It provides students with hands-on experience working with clients and practicing social work skills.
In online MSW programs, fieldwork is typically arranged in collaboration with local social service agencies. Students work under the supervision of a qualified social worker and engage in a variety of social work tasks.
Practicum
A practicum is a more advanced type of fieldwork that allows students to work independently under the supervision of a licensed social worker. Practicums provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a real-world setting.
