BSW Practicum Education

Welcome to the Practicum Education component of the Bachelor of Social Work Program at Ramapo College.

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.

Bachelor of Social Work majors take three practicum placement courses, Social Work in Agencies and Communities and Theory and Practice I and II. Each of these courses focuses on a different aspect of social work practice.

BSW Practicum Courses:

Social Work in Agencies and Communities (SWRK 329) Social Work Theory & Practice I & II (SWRK 425 & 426)
