Program Description
UFV's Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree prepares you to address barriers — such as poverty, addiction, abuse, or disabilities — to help people reach their full potential. Rooted in principles of social justice, equality, empowerment, and respect for diversity, the program equips you for practice in a wide range of social settings. The School of Social Work and Human Services welcomes a diverse population of social work students. After you complete 60 lower-level university credits, you can enroll in the UFV Bachelor of Social Work, and choose either a generalist or child welfare specialization option. Both options integrate Indigenous worldviews to help you understand the social issues at play in local Indigenous communities.
