Research & Fieldwork

The Social Work Program partners with many local service agencies that have enabled student field placements within their organizations. Agencies which are selected agree to provide learning experiences for students and to give time for supervision. New agencies are added in response to the interests of students and the development of new services.

The following list represents agencies who have employed Whittier students fulfilling their senior year field placement, Social Work Practicum (SOWK 412, 413, & 414).
