BSW Plan of Study

  • All BSW courses are provided at the 鶹AV downtown campus only.
  • No BSW courses are offered via distance or online education.
  • Admission is only for the Fall Semester.
  • The BSW program can be pursued on a full-time basis (4-5 courses/term) or on a part-time basis (1, 2, or 3 courses/term)
  • Normally, the BSW is completed in 3 academic years of full-time study

The Bachelor of Social Work is awarded upon successful completion of 90 credits of BSW Program approved courses taken, full-time, over three academic years.

  • 63 credits from “required” social work courses (this includes Field Placement courses)
  • It is possible to request an exemption from two required courses, SWRK 224 and SWRK 423
  • 9 credits from “complementary social work” courses
  • 12 credits from “Non-SWRK complementary” courses
  • 6 credits from “elective” courses taken outside of social work from any academic faculty and any department.

Note: Students interested in pursuing the MSW program at 鶹AV are strongly recommended to complete a statistics course as a Non-SWRK Complementary course or as an elective during their BSW or prior undergraduate studies.

As per 鶹AV regulations, all BSW students (admitted from CEGEP, Transfer, Inter/Intra-Faculty Transfer, Mature) must complete a minimum of 60 credits at 鶹AV toward the fulfillment of the degree requirements. At least two-thirds of all program requirements must generally be completed at 鶹AV. See:/study/2023-2024/faculties/arts/undergraduate/ug_arts_residency_reqs.
