Students Work 576 Hours For Eight Academic Credits
Two or three hours a day spent in a lab course is not unusual for University students, but two days a week spent "on the job" is something different.
This plan of learning while working at a job and receiving college credit, too, has been incorporated in the graduate professional school of social work which began this year.
Five graduate students have enrolled in the field supervision courses and are getting experience in actual social case work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Agencies where they receive their training include the Shawnee county welfare office, Topeka; the Kansas City office of Vocational Rehabilitation; the Family Service association, Kansas City, Kan.; and the social service department of the University hospitals in Kansas City, Kan.
Students are given a choice between the four agencies and are placed according to their experience and special interests. A minimum of eight semester hours of this supervised field work is required for the certificate of social work being offered this year.
