This is a great way to prepare for graduate school and to help build your resumes and curriculum vitas. For more information, please feel free to contact us and check our student research link.
PRACTICUM: If you are a student in our Bachelors degree with the emphasis of Social Work, SOWK 4800: Practicum is required. You have to take practicum the semester you are graduating. You can not go online and register for this course. You need to check your UVLink E-mail account for information regarding this course. Once you contact us either by e-mail or in person we'll give you the paperwork you need to register for this course. There are specific deadlines to have your paperwork turned in by and you must follow these deadlines in order to have a guaranteed seat in that course. Deadlines are typically around the middle of the semester prior to the semester you must take practicum (your last semester).
***Practicum is highly recommended for students under the Psychology emphasis as well!
SENIOR INTERNSHIP: If you are interested in gaining experience out in the field doing supervised hours and receiving 1-8 credits toward graduation our BESC 481R: Senior Internship class would be great for you. You must be a senior in our program and have completed ENGL 2010 or 2020, and PSY 3020 in order to register. You must meet with us for details and to pick up your contract papers. Senior Internship would count as an allied course or behavioral science elective depending on your emphasis.
