Introduction to Field Education Webinar for Incoming Fall 2024 MSW Students
April 22, 2024 - 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM ET
This session is for all incoming Fall 2024 On-Campus and Online MSW students. This webinar is specifically for students starting field in Fall 2024. All students starting field in Fall 2024 should plan to view this session. This webinar will help navigate the process of applying for a field placement. The last 30 minutes of the session discusses specific information for students planning to apply for a school-based field placement.
Students admitted in Fall 2023 to a dual degree or Part-Time program should also watch this session, since you are scheduled to start field in Fall 2024.
Students admitted to the Fall 2024 Part Time On-Campus or Part-Time Online programs do NOT need to watch this session: you will be starting field 12-16 months after entering the program (depending on your part-time curriculum track).
Students that are being admitted into the MSW program in Fall 2024 but will not start field until W25, please plan to attend the virtual Introduction to Field Education Webinar on September 3, 2024 12p-130p EST.
