This course represents the continuation of the online Master of Social Work fieldwork courses (SW 880, SW 881, SW 982, SW 983). SW students who are registered for one of the four required Fieldwork courses are also registered for SW 901 and are considered full-time. The grade for each course is awarded upon completion of the internship experience.

This course is an extension of Social Welfare Policy I. Both courses view social welfare policy as the framework in which social work services are developed and delivered. That is, policies provide the context for direct practice. Social Welfare Policy II examines policy analysis as a process with underlying theory and methodology. This process emphasizes political advocacy in the pursuit of human rights, and social and economic justice. The course integrates policy and practice, in part, through student research and analysis of specific social problems and client populations relevant to the student's volunteer, work, and/or field internship experience. Prereq: SW 820.
