Agencies & Field Instructors

If your agency is interested in providing field placements for our social work students, please do the following:

  • Read the Fact Sheet for Agencies Interested In Providing Field Placements for Sacramento State Social Work Students (see Forms below).
  • After reading the fact sheet, if your agency qualifies as a field placement site, please complete the Agency Application and Field Instructor Information Form (see Forms below) and mail to the field office.  You may also submit electronically as an attachment to sommer.hayes@csus.edu.
