Anthropology / Sociology at EOU

When can you take practicum credits?

Any term during your senior year. You can spread out the credits over the three terms. Some social welfare providers in town will ask you to make a multi-term commitment. While current requirements call for 1-10 credits, we recommend taking at least 5 practicum credits. This is an important part of the program, in terms of professional socialization, in terms of using observation skills and note-taking to glean sociological insight, and in terms of building a network of contacts and professionals, some of whom could provide you with letters of reference when you're searching for work.
