The MSW Laddered Pathway is designed for BSW graduates.

Students entering the course-based MSW through the laddered pathway must apply to and complete the program (12 units) and apply to and complete one of the certificates: program, program, or program (12 units) in any order. Admission to the MSW program is not guaranteed. Upon acceptance to the MSW, students complete the final component (12 units) of this full-time degree.

The course-based MSW is a continuous full-time program with no scheduled break. Students who do not enroll in courses continuously will be withdrawn from the program for failure to register unless they are on an approved leave of absence.

Program Delivery

The final courses are offered by distance (online) learning with required virtual and/or in-person campus residencies in Calgary. Failure to attend residencies may result in a student being withdrawn from the course(s) or program. Please consult the website for specific program delivery information.

The valid study permit must be presented to Student Services prior to the program start and the valid work permit must be presented to the Field Education Office in the Faculty of Social Work prior to the start of the practicum.
