Bachelor of Social Work (Child Welfare Specialization)

The Child Welfare Specialization requires students to complete a practicum with the Ministry of Children and Family Development or a Delegated Aboriginal Agency; however, the School cannot guarantee placement with either of these agencies as placements are based on agency capacity. Obtaining a placement with MCFD or a Delegated Aboriginal Agency is a competitive process and requires students to complete several steps.

The Bachelor of Social Work degree prepares you for generalist social work practice in cross-cultural environments. You will be prepared to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities to enhance personal, family and community life, and to promote social change.
