Social Service Worker courses

About Bachelor Of Social Work in MacEwan University

A unique program

Transformative, collaborative and supportive education: it’s at the heart of what we do. The same qualities are at the heart of what social workers do when they work with families, provide support and transform lives in the communities where they live and work.

The Bachelor of Social Work—the first Edmonton-based social work degree, will enable our Social Work diploma students to continue their studies in their home institution. And they’ll learn from faculty who are engaged in research, blended learning and all areas of social work practice.

Focus on sustainability

Unique to this degree is the focus on sustainability—how social, environmental and economic issues interrelate—and how we all fit in to the larger community. In addition, students enrolled in the program will be able to focus their study around one of five themes: sustainability, working with children and families, working with Indigenous people (urban Indigenous focus), health and mental health, and community social work practice.

Two admission pathways

This program will be of interest to graduates of accredited Alberta Social Work diploma programs as well as students who have completed 60 university-level credits and are looking to extend their professional education.

Careers

Graduates from the Bachelor of Social Work will have strong critical thinking skills and be prepared to work in a wide and diverse range of health/mental health, child and family, community, and human service settings.

Graduates of this program will make valuable contributions to the health and safety of children and families, support the development of a vibrant and healthy workforce and provide leadership in the area of social and environmental sustainability.
