It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Generalist MSW students complete a minimum of 400 hours in the field; clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar. Students must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements. Many social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made. The UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>62</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

graduate social work education. It provides the student with an opportunity to test classroom knowledge as well as to develop and refine foundation and advanced practice skills. Decisions regarding field assignment are determined by the Field Director. Only agency sites approved by the School of Social Work may be used for field instruction. Generalist MSW students complete a minimum of 400 hours in the field; clinical MSW students complete a minimum of 600 clock hours in the field. Field education includes a field seminar.\n\nStudents must complete at least 50% of their field hours during the agency's normal business hours. Evening (after 5 p.m.) and weekend placements are extremely limited. The School of Social Work is under no obligation to provide such placements. Consequently, field placements cannot be guaranteed to students who require evening and weekend placements.\n\nMany social work agencies have students complete background checks, including formal background checks, law enforcement fingerprinting, driving records, and criminal record checks. In most instances, the expense for the background check is the responsibility of the student. We urge students to seek this information prior to entering the field experience if there is sensitive information that may prevent them from being accepted at an agency. Students must also report any background issues on the field application so that an appropriate placement can be made.\n\nThe UCF School of Social Work cannot guarantee a field placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><h3>Grand Total Credits:<!-- --> <strong>62</strong></h3></div><h1>Application Requirements</h1><h1>Financial Information</h1><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.
