Senior Experience

The Senior Integrative Seminar, concurrent with the field practicum, strengthens the integration of theory and practice by emphasizing the linkages between the liberal arts and all components of the Social Work curriculum and social work practice. It further sharpens the studentÕs ability to question and think critically; to explore personal, professional, cultural values and ethical issues, to prepare for productive contributions to society, and engage in lifelong learning.

The senior comprehensive examination assesses the student in the required content areas in social work, allows for further opportunities for linkages with the liberal arts, and provides outcome assessment information for the social work faculty.
