PPSC

The MSW Program offers a Pupil Personnel Services Credential (PPSC) embedded in the curriculum. Students in the Clinical Specialization who desire to work in a public school setting may apply for admission to the PPSC Program. The PPSC program is not a stipend program. Applicant qualifications are assessed by the PPSC coordinator, in collaboration with the field practicum faculty who will refer individuals to PPSC-approved field practicum internship sites in the specialization year. Students who are interested in completing the PPS credential for school social work must complete a 600-hour internship in an approved school-based field internship under the supervision of a field practicum instructor who possesses a PPS-credential in school social work and child welfare/attendance. Advanced Standing students who are interested in the PPS credential should speak with the PPSC coordinator regarding any conditions or restrictions that may exist.
