SWRK327

This is the third practice course in the social work professional practice sequence. This course will focus on the dimensions of macro social work practice. Macro practice encompasses agency administration, program planning, policy analysis, community organization, community development, and focuses on planned change in organizations and communities. Case histories of community organization efforts and community organization methods will be analyzed for the purpose of integrating theoretical and practice material with actual cases. In addition students will be involved in a simulated community planning project which incorporates various aspects of agency administration and planning. Students enrolled in the course will be placed in a two-day-a-week field practicum in a macro social work setting where they are expected to gain a working knowledge of community organization/macro practice methods. Lab Fee.
