Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Social Work, offered as a standard four-year degree or as a shorter After-Degree option for students who already hold prior post-secondary credentials, delivered in hybrid format at the Winnipeg campus with substantial supervised field placements that cannot be completed entirely online. Students complete two practicum placements arranged and overseen by faculty liaisons, gaining applied experience alongside academic study. The curriculum covers professional social work practice skills, human behaviour and the social environment, research methods, policy analysis, and ethical practice, with attention to specialized areas including addictions, aging, disabilities, justice systems, child welfare, and community mental health. The program suits students aiming for careers as advocates, counsellors, case managers, or policy analysts, working with populations affected by addiction, mental illness, poverty, homelessness, trauma, or involvement in the justice system, in settings such as schools, hospitals, child welfare agencies, and community mental health organizations.
