Overview

Bachelor of Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work program provides 3rd and 4th-year undergraduate degree studies and will be of interest to Alberta Social Work diploma graduates and other students who have completed 60 university-level Arts and Science credits. 

The School of Social Work offers transformative, collaborative and supportive education to prepare students for leadership roles in meeting the social justice mandate of the profession of social work. 

Unique to this degree is the focus on sustainability — how social, environmental and economic issues interrelate and how we fit into the larger community. 

Students have the opportunity to focus their studies around a number of themes, including working with children and families, working with Indigenous people, health and mental health, and community social work practice. 

Students learn from faculty at MacEwan University who are engaged in research, blended learning and all areas of social work practice.
