Program details

Overview

This post-degree Bachelor of Social Work is designed for students who have already completed a three-year, 90-credit undergraduate degree and want to pursue a career in social work. The program builds on students' prior education while developing practical skills in communication, research, and policy analysis, with a focus on social justice, equity, and anti-oppressive practice. Students gain hands-on experience through a required placement with organizations in real-world settings. Admission requires completion of at least a three-year undergraduate degree from an accredited university with an overall average of 3.3 or better on a 4-point scale, plus a supplementary application including references and a Social Justice Statement. Intake is offered in the fall term only, and the accelerated route is intended for graduates who want to enter social work practice without repeating an undergraduate degree from the beginning.
