Overview

About this Program

The School of Social Work's emphasis at McGill University is on critical thinking, research, practice and policy, with a focus on social justice on issues facing vulnerable and disadvantaged people.

The objective of the Bachelor of Social Work Program is to provide an academic environment where students can develop:

integrated social work knowledge pertaining to history, theory, research, practice modalities, and policies that influence the delivery of health and social services;

professional skills in well-established methods of practice with individuals, families, and groups in communities and organizations;

understanding of the factors, processes and forces that form and govern social policy in Canada, and the skills to work towards policy improvement and change;

awareness of various dimensions of diversity and how they intersect in an increasingly heterogeneous society;

a sense of identity as an intervening agent in social work practice and a sense of responsibility that accompanies acts of intervention, and;

a commitment to advancing knowledge and improving skills within ethical social work practice that are the prerequisites for more advanced studies at the graduate level.
