The MSW Practicum Manual is an important aspect of our graduate curriculum so we continue to revise and update it. This manual includes policies and procedures, forms and assignments for agency and school-based placements. For field education questions, contact Sona Chalian, Director of Field Education at 309-438-3733 or email smchali@ilstu.edu.
