Upon successful completion of the qualifying year program, qualifying year students will be eligible to apply for admission to the M.S.W. program.
The normal academic requirement for admission is a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree from a university recognized by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE), with a mid-B average (or better) in the last two years of undergraduate study.
Exceptional circumstances: Candidates who hold a four-year degree in a discipline related to social work, with above average grades, and at least five years of professional experience in the human services, will also be considered for admission. In cases where admission is granted on exceptional grounds, students may be required to successfully complete specified undergraduate courses in practice theory, social policy, or research methods, prior to registering in graduate courses in the same area. |
