| The Master of Social Work (MSW) degree program at UBC’s Okanagan campus provides advanced field education so students can graduate job-ready for professional leadership roles in clinical and direct-practice organizations. The graduate degree prepares students for clinical practice with individuals, families and groups.
The MSW program incorporates critical theory into social work assessment and intervention. Students develop a deeper understanding of the integration of individual, relational, structural and global factors that respect diversity, promote resilience and strengthen capacity. The School of Social Work offers two master’s level program tracks: 1) Advanced One-Year track MSW, and 2) Foundational Two-Year track MSW Both tracks are governed by the policies of the College of Graduate Studies and the School of Social Work in UBC’s Faculty of Health and Social Development. In addition, the School of Social Work has full accreditation through the Canadian Association of Social Work Education (CASWE).
