Bachelor of Social Work

Our unique Bachelor of Social Work focuses on the ways social, environmental, and economic issues interrelate, and how we all fit into the larger community. Sustainability and social work practice with Indigenous peoples are core to our program. You develop professional practice skills through practicum placements. Upon graduation, you are prepared to work in a diverse range of health, mental health, child and family, community, and human service settings.
