Overview

The School uses the concurrent model of field education (unpaid internship), meaning students take classes and have field education requirements concurrently.

Throughout the Social Work program at the University of Cincinnati, you will be assigned to an agency for 14 to 17 hours per work to work under the supervision of a qualified field instructor, who is a social worker employed at that agency. Typically, field placement hours must be scheduled sometime during the work week (i.e. Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm); there are no field placements available with exclusively evening or weekend hours.

After completion of the generalist curriculum (which includes a generalist year field placement) or upon admission to the Advanced Standing Program, students select an area of study that include specialized curricula and field placements.

The advanced curriculum in Direct Practice is designed to provide the knowledge and skills needed for specialized practice with Children and Families, in Mental Health, or in Health and Aging. Students in Direct Practice learn to use evidence-based interventions to assist individuals, families, and groups to make change, solve problems, and become empowered.

Career

Social workers practice in many settings, working with people and communities to find solutions to problems. Fields where social workers provide direct service to individuals, families, and groups include:

Children and family services in child protective services, foster care agencies, adoptions, schools, and counseling agencies.

Health services in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and nursing homes.

Mental health and substance abuse services in treatment and case management agencies and private practice.

Aging service in home care agencies and senior living communities.

Legal services in correctional facilities, treatment agencies, and mediation services.

Other social workers work with community members to improve conditions in their area. Still others work in leadership roles in social service organizations.
