Field Work Requirements

The BSSUT Program requires two consecutive semesters (split placement) or one full semester (block placement) of field experience in a single agency focused on substance use disorder treatment. Once necessary pre-requisites are complete and students have a 2.25 or better GPA, students enroll in the field courses (SUT 4951 Field Instruction and Seminar I, first semester; SUT 4952 Field Instruction and Seminar II, second semester; or SUT 4955 AND 4956 to complete Field Work in one semester [AKA Block]) and complete 240 clock hours per semester in their assigned agency. Field placements are arranged early in the preceding semester by applying through the field office. Students should consult with a BSSUT academic advisor to ensure completion of pre-requisites for field.
