Field placements will occur in the student’s geographic area and will be in-person. The social work programs reside in the Department of Counselor, Adult, and Higher Education at Oregon State University.

At Oregon State University’s College of Education, we develop a diverse and inclusive community of scholars, educators and change agents. We are deeply engaged with equity and anti-racism work in our research, teaching and service. Adult and higher education, counseling, teaching and other programs have redesigned curriculum firmly grounded in diversity, equity and inclusion.
