Why choose Social Work at Dal?
At Dalhousie's School of Social Work, we believe that a commitment to social justice is the foundation of social work education and practice. Social workers should help individuals, families and communities resolve personal and social difficulties, and promote policy options to provide a better living environment for everyone.
"I like the Dal School of Social Work because of its commitment to social justice and its anti- oppressive curriculum design," says student Afolake Awoyiga.
Students and faculty apply this critical approach to social work practice methods, social policy, professional values and theoretical perspectives. The Bachelor of Social Work degree develops a broad range of diverse skills and theoretical perspectives that may be used in a variety of job settings. Our graduates are qualified to practice social work across Canada and around the world and the program is available to students on Dalhousie’s campus or through distance learning.
The BSW program is accredited by the Canadian Association For Social Work Education.
