Field Education Program
The Field Education Component is a major sequence which is incorporated
into the curriculum of the Social Work major. It provides the student
with the chance to work 500 hours in Social Services agencies prior to graduation. This provides each student with "hands-on" learning
and helps to shape each student professionally while developing.
Job Opportunities
The majority of graduating students that enter into the work force are
offered employment by at least one of their interning agencies or a related
affiliate. Alvernia College also offers the Social Work student several
opportunities through college employment, seasonal internships, career
planning, and non-profit programs.
