With a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), you'll empower individuals, families, groups, and communities to sustain and improve their quality of life. Our 10 month BSW program lays the foundation for generalist practice in a range of social service, health, and community settings. The theories, approaches, and skills developed through your BSW degree coursework will ensure your strong ability to use a social justice lens for assessment, intervention, advocacy, and social action purposes. In the Social Work program, you'll have the opportunity to integrate your learning through a field placement. Field placements provide relevant foundational skills to move forward in the profession. Some areas of field placement experiences include (but are not limited to) child welfare, community mental health and addictions, working with 2SLGBTQIA and BIPOC communities, and working with persons with disabilities. Most careers in Social Work require a BSW designation (or higher). As a graduate of the BSW program, you're eligible for Ontario College of Social Worker and Social Service Worker (OCSWSSW) registration. You can also apply for an advanced standing Master of Social Work (MSW) program and earn an advanced degree in as little as a year, rather than two.
