Internships

Students work together with our field department in selecting their senior-year field placement. By working in unison with students, they can select an internship location that matches their interests.  A co-requisite of this internship is a Field Seminar course where students share their experiences together and gain mutual support from one another, and the professor.

Graduate School

Many students go on to advance their education in programs like the Springfield College graduate programs, specifically the Master of Social Work.
