MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK (MSW)
Lakehead University offers a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, which emphasizes an advanced generalist practice approach to working with individuals, families, communities, organizations, and political systems based on an ecological view of social work practice. The curriculum focuses on the knowledge, values, and skills necessary for professional practice in environments characterized by urban regional centres, rural and remote communities, large geographic distances, low population density, diverse First Nations communities and people, and a mix of formal services. Please note: students will initially be accepted into
the project track, then after consultation with their faculty supervisors, students who prefer the thesis track may request a change in program. Applicants must be completing or hold an Honours Bachelor of Social Work degree to be considered for admission.
