Practicum Education in the Social Work Program<\/span><\/h3>\n

The social work profession deems practicum education as its signature pedagogy. As such, practicum education is the framework in which students are socialized into the profession of social work and learn to function as professionals. Practicum instruction is designed to enable students to apply and integrate theoretical concepts, knowledge and practical skills learned in the classroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Social Work Practicum Education Team at Ramapo College offers a personalized experience with one-on-one interviews, site visits, and frequent check-ins to provide support and ensure success. No student takes on the internship process alone. Ramapo College\u2019s Social Work program provides incomparable opportunities for BSW and MSW students with countless partnerships with agencies, nonprofits, schools, and other organizations. The Practicum Team considers each student\u2019s considerations and aspirations when identifying practicum placements to help prepare skilled, competent, and confident professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n
