Program Details

Social Work School: Dalhousie University Faculty: Faculty of Health Professions Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Social Work Description: Social work is about helping individuals, families and communities resolve personal and social difficulties. It also promotes policy options that provide a better living environment for all. Social work students acquire a thorough knowledge of human development, cultural understandings, social institutions, and a personal ability to assist others effectively. You'll learn in a program that embraces a critical and anti-oppressive approach to social work practice, with an emphasis on social policy, professional values, theoretical perspectives, and practice methods. While the program has evolved within the context of the people, communities and service network of the Maritime provinces, graduates are qualified to practice social work throughout Canada and beyond.
