Introduction

This directory is provided to students completing their senior year in the BSW program in order to allow

them to research possible field education internship sites. Though a site is listed in this directory, it is possible

that the site will not accept interns during the given academic year.

Students are not to contact any agency concerning a possible internship without first having completed

the field education interview process with the Field Education Coordinator in the FGCU Department of Social

Work. The Field Education Coordinator is responsible for selecting and approving agencies, initiating placement

interviews, and approving student placements. The Field Education Coordinator will evaluate an agency’s

appropriateness for student placements and confirm that the agency meets the Department of Social Work

requirements. Field placements must be Department-approved sites for field education. Again, students must

not initiate contact with any agency to seek placement without prior approval of the Field Education

Coordinator.

A student wishing to know if a particular agency of interest is on the list of Department-approved site,

will direct this inquiry to the Field Education Coordinator, NOT to the agency in question. In addition, any

placements initiated without the authorization of the Field Education Coordinator will not be approved. A

student may bring to the attention of the Field Education Coordinator an agency that is not listed in the

department-approved directory. It may be possible for the site to be developed and approved, if the agency

meets the requirements of the Department. However, the Field Education Coordinator cannot guarantee that

this type of arrangement can be made, particularly if there are sufficient agencies already on the Department-

approved list that can meet the student’s placement needs.
