The School of Social Work offers a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) degree, with two program tracks: Advanced One Year M.S.W. and Foundational Two Year M.S.W.

The School’s mission is to deliver quality graduate-level clinically focused social work education, and to produce high impact internationally recognized research, both intended to respond to the diverse needs of social work clients.

The M.S.W. program integrates critical, structural, and social-relational perspectives with clinical knowledge and expertise, and graduates enter the job market with specialized knowledge and evidence-based expertise. The M.S.W. program is fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE).
