Once you’ve completed at least one year of university courses (30 credit hours; note most applicants finish two years before applying) you can apply to Dalhousie’s BSW program. Here you’ll be exposed to courses that embrace a critical and anti-oppressive approach to social policy, professional values, theoretical perspectives and practice methods. Our recently redesigned courses help you develop a broader range of skills, so you'll be prepared for a wider variety of career paths. You’ll graduate with a good understanding of topics such as the historical and modern manifestations of inequality, how social work both impedes and advances societal justice and how to engage and work with service users.
