Field Opportunities and Locations

Students are placed  in a wide range of agencies and organizations where they can gain hands-on experience working with client populations and addressing complex social challenges.

Only campus-based students who meet criteria at the BSW or MSW level, completing a final or advanced placement, will be considered for internships outside of Tallahassee in geographical areas covered by field liaisons. Students will work directly with the field liaisons for the area in which they are interested. Out-of-state placements are reserved for online students who live in the respective geographical areas. Main campus students who request an out-of-state internship must meet the criteria and be approved by the director of field education. The map below shows where the College of Social Work actively has placement agreements. Please know if there is not currently an indicator of active placement, there is the possibility of a new placement being identified for enrolled students in collaboration with dedicated field liaisons!
