SO 408 I - Field Work: Applied Sociology I

Credits: (4 credits)

Provides the opportunity for a supervised experience in one of a variety of accredited social service agencies: correctional, welfare, medical and mental health care agencies. Assignments in human service agencies are arranged by the department, and the student works under the supervision of professional personnel. In addition, students attend a weekly 90-minute session with the on-campus instructor to process field placement experiences. Students complete journal, other assignments, and an integrated final reflection paper.

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisites: Students must complete at least two (2) service learning experiences prior to the field placement (other experiential learning experiences will also be considered), submit two (2) references from community organizations, write an essay which indicates their experience, contributions, learning experiences, and ability to balance off campus learning with classroom learning, and have a preferred GPA of 2.6 in the major.

Notes
Students are further required to interview with the Field Placement Professor as well as the Chair of the Department prior to being assigned. Field placement is contingent upon a successful interview process.
