Roberts Wesleyan University Seeks Field Placement Hosts for Master of Social Work Students – Fall 2025
Roberts Wesleyan University is calling on community organizations to partner in educating the next generation of social workers by hosting Master of Social Work (MSW) students for field placements during the Fall 2025 semester.
Field placements - also known as practicums - are a core part of MSW students' academic and professional training. These hands-on experiences are more than a program requirement; they are essential for preparing students to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals, families, and communities. A new government-funded initiative is expanding access to this graduate program, and with enrollment growth, the university is seeking additional placement sites.
Roberts is looking for organizations that can offer:
- Weekly supervision by a licensed social worker (LMSW or LCSW) with at least two years of experience
- Opportunities to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities
- Exposure to policy practice, research-informed care, and justice-centered service
These internships are for the fall semester, starting at the end of August or early September. Along with Rochester, the university is in need of opportunities for students in New York City, Long Island, Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo, Cooperstown, Watkins Glen, Binghamton, Jamestown, Ithaca, and Cortland.
Students will commit 13–18 hours per week over two consecutive semesters. The university will manage all memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and support hosting organizations throughout the placement process.
