The faculty at the School place a high priority on the integration of theory with practice. To
facilitate this integration, field work is done concurrently with coursework. Through field
education, students acquire new skills and apply their classroom learning in their practice
settings. The School is affiliated with over 350 agencies in the Greater Cleveland area, creating a
vast network of field education as well as employment opportunities.
Students are required to complete 1008(B.S.W.) or 1,184(non-B.S.W.) clock hours of field
education. The School and the affiliated agency or field setting agree on the content and
conditions of field education, including the qualifications of social workers who serve as field
instructors. Field placement decisions are based on educational criteria, with student interests
and career objectives taken into consideration.
