Master of Social Work (MSW)
We offer a graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Social Work that is fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education. The program is designed to provide graduate students with the opportunity to reflect on their practice and life experiences in the context of the School’s mission statement and to develop critical analysis and reflection skills and apply these skills to practice and/or research. Students have the option of completing their MSW program by undertaking the course-based option OR completing a thesis.
We offer three distinct programs that lead to a Master of Social Work degree.
MSW Advanced program
The MSW Advanced program is available to applicants who currently hold a BSW degree from an accredited program.
MSW Indigenous specialization
A specialized program of studies leading to the Master of Social Work degree for social workers working in Indigenous social settings is available to applicants who currently hold a BSW degree from an accredited program. This program is designed to provide the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills within this Indigenous context.
Non-BSW entry MSW program
The non-BSW entry MSW program includes a qualifying foundation year of studies followed by entry into the MSW Advanced program. This program is designed for applicants with an undergraduate or graduate degree not in social work.
