Bachelor of Social Work
The Bachelor of Social Work program emphasizes the importance of understanding the structural roots of social problems in Canadian society. Therefore, social work is a political activity aimed at initiating social change at all levels of society to promote equality and inclusion. Social problems such as poverty and homelessness, gendered violence, racial discrimination, and climate change are viewed as being rooted in structural inequalities. These inequalities lead to economic, political, social and cultural disparities for whole populations of people.
