The Indigenous Bachelor of Social Work is a two-year, full-time degree completed at the main campus that applies Indigenous knowledge, specifically the Blackfoot Knowledge Paradigm, to social work practice alongside standard academic training. Admission requires a completed diploma equivalent to roughly 20 university courses or 60 university credits. The curriculum spans 19 courses and 57 credits, covering foundational subjects such as Indigenous worldviews and ontological responsibility, Blackfoot ethical principles and cultural protocols, and Blackfoot language and philosophy; practice-focused courses in relational communication, healing theories drawn from both Indigenous and mainstream approaches, human development across the lifespan, and family and group engagement; and specialized topics including community wellness, international social work from a human rights perspective, Indigenous research methodologies, and trauma-informed practice. Experiential learning includes three community practice placements totalling roughly 535 community hours, plus seminar and capstone hours. The program suits Indigenous and non-Indigenous students seeking social work training that centres Indigenous worldviews in professional practice.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page states only that applicants must have completed a diploma programme equivalent to 20 university courses or 60 university credits. It does not itself publish English Language Arts, grade-average or language-proficiency requirements. Per Red Crow Community College's general admission page, applicants otherwise fall under the institution-wide rule that every admitted applicant must meet the requirements of the specific programme and submit official transcripts of their high-school record; that page states no IELTS, TOEFL or other standardized English-proficiency score and no institution-wide minimum grade average. The programme page points applicants to a separate Program & Course Guide for further detail, which was not reachable from the programme page itself. No criminal-record check, immunisation, interview, portfolio or work-experience condition is stated on the pages reviewed.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Red Crow Community College's admissions page states applications are assessed on "a first-qualified, first-accepted basis" processed by the date transcripts and other requirements are received, with no fixed opening or closing date published for domestic applicants and no separate international timeline stated. The college separately publishes band-funding deadlines tied to the Fall (September-January, funding deadline June 15) and Winter (January-June, funding deadline November 30) semesters, but these govern sponsorship funding rather than the admissions decision. Admission itself is rolling for both domestic and international applicants, with no equal-consideration or firm date published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
