Application Information
Welcome to the School of Social Work. We offer three Master of Social Work programs, accredited by the Canadian Association of Social Work Education (CASWE).
Applications for September 2022 admission are now CLOSED.
All admitted MSWA students will need to attend an on-campus institute, which will be held for a week in late August/early September 2022 (exact dates to be determined). Our School is responding to the challenges presented by COVID-19 and will follow all Provincial Health Directives. As such, the details and attendance requirements of the on-campus institute may change. All admitted MSWA students will need to refer to their email for the most up to date information. Please also refer to the Timetable for official dates.
The next entry point is September 2023. We will admit new cohorts to our MSW Advanced (MSWA) and MSW Foundation (MSWF) programs. The MSWA program requires applicants to hold a BSW degree from a CASWE accredited social work program. The MSWF program requires an alternative undergraduate degree, for students not in possession of a BSW. The next application will open in October 2022.
We offer three Master of Social Work programs with different application processes. Please follow the links below to access the appropriate admission requirements and the application process.
