International Fieldwork Experience

A Survey of US Schools

Gauri S. Rai

Department of Social Work, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA raigs{at}jmu.edu

Twenty-five US schools provided international field experience either in agencies dealing with international problems or in foreign countries. There appear to be two primary patterns for making overseas placements. One is through the initiative of a faculty member and the other is through the learning centers in different countries. Students chose field experiences in foreign countries because they were enthusiastic about it. Also, some of them had family, friends or relatives in those countries. The largest deterrent to overseas placements is financial difficulty.
