Field Education

At Harris College, we are all about challenging yourself and making a difference for others. As a student, you need opportunities to practice the skills you’ve learned. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place.

Field education is the culmination of the academic experience as a student in social work. In this practice experience, you’ll work in an agency under the direction of field instructors who provide guidance and supervision to prepare you for professional practice.

TCU offers internship opportunities and does not support political or personal statements associated with any of them. We evaluate each opportunity to ensure academic value as it relates to a course of study. Beyond that, we encourage you to seek the opportunities that best match your interests and to choose how to best fulfill your internship requirements.
