Field Internship Considerations

With this plan, you will complete your one field internship across quarters 8, 9, and 10. You will begin your field internship search during your 7th quarter.

Certificate Considerations

With this plan, you will need to investigate certificate deadlines, as they are generally set for fall start internships. Many school systems or hospital-based internships may prefer students to start in the fall quarter. Students interested in the School Social Work Certificate should talk with the coordinator in advance, apply by the deadline, and consider delaying field start until the fall quarter.
