Program delivery options

September entry (every year)

This program is a full-time and on campus program. Full-time refers to being available on campus five days a week.

For 2 years, you are required to take 3 courses each September and January term, which means a minimum of 35 hours per week to meet the program requirements (meetings, supervision, and courses etc.). Taking courses (2-3) in the summer term (May-June) is also required. The required coursework includes two placements with local community agencies: the introductory first-year practicum and the more extensive second-year internship.

The project-based MA typically takes 2 years, while the thesis-based MA typically takes 2.5 to 3 years to complete.

No intake planned at this time.

The three summers program requires three consecutive summers on campus at the University of Victoria.

During each of the three summers, participants will attend classes on UVic campus from the beginning of July to mid-August Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

During the rest of the program, participants will work on their internships (extended practicum), projects, and prepare for summer courses with readings and pre-course assignments.

The three summers program is scheduled to take two years and two months.

No intake planned at this time.
