Welcome to Practicum Education

The Social Work Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) designates practicum education as the “signature pedagogy” in social work education. Through practicum education, students are successfully socialized into our profession and learn how to perform the role of a social work practitioner in any agency setting. BSW and MSW students are able to connect what is learned in the classroom, link that knowledge, and use it within the practice environment at their agency.

We encourage prospective students, current students, and community agencies and their staff to explore the practicum education site and learn more about practicum education as a component of a BSW major or MSW graduate degree. Please do not hesitate to contact ssw-practicum@charlotte.edu for further information.
