Background

The RUPP/University of Washington Social Work Partnership was established in 2004 to support development of the new Department of Social Work at RUPP. The first class of students enrolled in 2008-2009.

The Department of Social Work has developed linkages with over 40 organizations to offer placement opportunities to students. Integral parts of the Bachelor of Arts degree are three separate experiential learning opportunities. In the second year of the program, students spend four hours a week within a community setting to learn about the mission of the agency and be exposed to direct service. They attend a seminar that accompanies this experience. In year three, students spend one and a half days a week within an agency developing social work skills through a supportive and supervised experience. In year four, students continue to develop their skills through a block placement in the second semester.
