Special Topics in Social Work is designed to provide students with an opportunity to engage in structured learning on specific topics not otherwise addressed in the core curriculum. This course is intended to complement the required courses by enabling students to focus on a substantive area of practice, theory, and research directly related to a particular arena of social work practice. The study may deal with relevant fields of practice such as mental health, corrections, child welfare, public policy issues, diverse or vulnerable populations such as minorities, children, older adults; specific social problems like substance abuse, AIDS, domestic violence, discrimination, or the efficacy of different methodological approaches to practice e.g., individual, family, group or community intervention.
