The Bachelor of Social Work at York University is designed for aspiring professionals committed to social justice, human rights, and equity. You will gain essential practice skills in communication, critical thinking, policy analysis, and research, preparing you to work effectively with diverse and marginalized communities. This undergraduate degree delves into the histories of racial and colonial influences on social work, expanding your contemporary understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and equipping you to analyze how power relations shape social experiences locally and globally.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, you will engage in a dynamic learning environment that includes role-play, mock interviews, presentations, and field trips, all taught by front-line professionals and community leaders. A required degree placement from a Canadian accredited program will provide hands-on experience, and you can further enhance your practical skills through co-op opportunities for paid work experience. You will graduate with the qualifications and practical experience needed to become a registered social worker, ready to pursue impactful careers in social welfare and human services.
