Master of Social Work (MSW)

The Master of Social Work (MSW) curriculum is designed to be at the cutting edge of contemporary social work practice.Our curriculum emphasizes the development of critically reflexive practice skills through the ongoing integration of knowledge, theory and practice within a framework that promotes the advancement of equity, inclusivity, reflexivity and social justice. It is our anticipation that graduates of our program will walk alongside those with whom they work, in collaborative, inclusive, reflexive and caring ways and that they will stand up for what they believe is just.Program Highlights We have an outstanding reputation as one of Canada’s top graduate schools for social work education:Since 1966, we have graduated nearly 5,400 social workers.More than 85% of our graduates find full-time employment in the field.The field education office works with various agencies across the social work landscape to identify MSW level placements. Students are then matched to placements for an interview.Classes usually do not exceed 30 students; this allows for strong relationships between faculty and students and encourages personal learning.We are fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE).
