Field Education

Field Education is the capstone of the social work education, and provides an exciting opportunity to integrate what students have learned in the classroom into social work practice, at the generalist and advanced generalist levels. There are numerous field agency sites that are formally affiliated with UND, throughout the region.

Typhon

Typhon is a student tracking system for field education programs.
