About
This foundation course provides an overview of social work including the definition, scope, history, ethics and values of the profession. This course will provide an orientation to the resources and expectations of graduate education and the MSW program, within the framework of competency based education and an adult learner model. Students will develop basic communication, self-assessment and reflection skills necessary for success in the MSW program. Students will have an opportunity to survey various fields of practice and will begin to identify personal learning goals for their MSW education as well as develop a commitment to lifelong learning as a part of professional practice.
The Immersion course is designed to provide students who do not have a background in social work education the means to verify their decision to undertake graduate social work education, as well as to ensure that the values, skills and knowledge required for professional social work practice are compatible with the student's personal career goals and skills.
