First Degree BSW

• The BSW program is accredited by the Canadian Association of Social Work Education (CASWE) and qualifies graduates for beginning professional practice in social work settings.
• The program is comprised of course work and two 350 hour field practicums.
• The BSW is not a direct-entry program. Admission Requirements for the BSW program are outlined in the University Calendar.
• Entry to the BSW program is competitive and selection of candidates for admission is based on academic standing and relevant experience/involvement in human services.
• The First Degree BSW is a 120 credit hour program (equivalent to four years).
• The 30 credit hours of prerequisites are considered the first year of the program. Successful applicants are admitted to the program as second year students.
• Once students are admitted to a BSW program, the program is an on-campus and full-time program over three years during the Fall and Winter semesters only.
• Since the BSW is not a direct entry program, students wishing to complete the 30 credit hours of prerequisite courses, must apply and be accepted to Memorial University as an undergraduate student.
