Welcome to the University of Washington School of Social Work Practicum Home Page. You'll find a variety of resources and information related to field instruction.

Field practicum is the internship portion of the bachelors and masters level social work programs. Students work with experienced social work professionals in human service agencies and organizations to complement classroom theory and research.

Our approach to Practicum is based on theories related to adult learning and applied learning. We believe this opportunity to apply classroom learning in the field allows students to master and synthesize social work knowledge, values, and skills. It is the cornerstone of professional social work education.
