Introduction
The field placement settings listed offer a “Foundation” experience for graduate social work students. Please refer to the field learning objectives for a “foundation” field placement in your information packet or in the Student Handbook section on “Field Education.” You can also check field placement information on line at pitt.edu/~pittssw/ .
Students are not permitted to negotiate or otherwise make arrangements for a field placement on their own. This is a violation of school policy. Students must submit the required materials to request a field placement to the Office of Field Education. A field advisor works individually with each student to plan for and arrange an appropriate field placement.
Students must be registered for field placement in the term in which they are completing field placement. They must also have paid a malpractice premium at the Recorder’s Office before they can begin field placement.

Index of Agencies by Fields of Practice
This directory of field placement agencies is arranged in alphabetical order. However, to assist students in identifying agencies representing their areas of interest, the agencies are also listed by fields of practice. The fields of practice are: Aging / Gerontological Social Work, Alcohol, Drug or Substance Abuse, Child Welfare, Community Planning, Corrections / Criminal Justice, Family Services, Health, Mental Health, Mental Retardation, Rehabilitation, Women's Services, and Other. Many agencies may be listed in more than one field of practice. There are also agencies that have field placements available, but for a range of reasons they may not be listed in this Directory.
It is impossible to keep information up-to date! This Directory should be a stepping stone to engage in discussion with the field advisor from the Office of Field Education in the School of Social Work who is responsible for planning for your field placement.
