The Bachelor of Social Work program prepares competent generalist practitioners to provide service and leadership within regional, national, and global contexts to achieve social justice, respect for diversity, and social change. We facilitate the development of knowledge, skills, and values necessary to work in collaborative and anti-oppressive ways. We deliver social work education that identifies and eradicates barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. We are committed to social work education that integrates and incorporates Aboriginal perspectives.
Graduates of this program find employment in rural and northern communities in British Columbia and across Canada. Employment opportunities exist in a wide variety of government and voluntary organizations such as family and children's services, child welfare, mental health services, hospitals, women's services, crisis services, corrections and First Nations' social services.
