	School of Social Work - Field Education FAQ
		While the Office of Field Education works hard to offer students choices in agency selection, allowing multiple interviews for over 400 students enrolled in the BSW and MSW degree programs would make it less likely for students to be placed in their preferred sites.
		Competition for sites among WSU School of Social Work students and those of other neighboring schools is high, and agencies tend to select students with the most work experience.
		Students who miss field placement days, or who start field work late, should have a plan to make up the hours missed in their field work educational agreement, which must be developed with the field instructor and approved by the faculty advisor.
