Program Overview
Join leading scholars and practitioners in critical social work who are committed to social justice, human rights and equity. You will learn to work with people from diverse and marginalized communities and engage in practice, policy and research that have real impact on the community. Our dedicated instructors utilize anti-oppressive and decolonial curriculum dedicated to social transformation and justice.
We offer two streams of entry into the program. The Bachelor of Social Work Direct Entry option allows students who have graduated from high school to enter the first year of the program, while eligible community college students can join us at the second-year level. The Bachelor of Social Work Post-Degree Entry option admits students who have completed at least a three-year undergraduate degree (90 credits); these individuals enter the program at the third-year level.
What you'll learn:
- Gain practice skills in communication, critical thinking, policy analysis and research.
- Learn about racial and colonial histories of social work while expanding your contemporary understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion.
- Develop your knowledge of Indigenous social work, international social work, and social welfare and human services.
- Explore how power relations are produced through race, gender, class, sexuality and disability both locally and globally, and critically analyze the role they play in social work.
Hands-on experiences
- Complete a required degree placement from a Canadian accredited program to become a registered social worker.
- Learn from front-line professionals, activists, community leaders and social changemakers.
- Engage in learning through role-play, mock interviews, presentations and field trips.
