The Master of Social Work for Working Professionals program is kicking off its Fall 2022 admission cycle with an exciting announcement: the program will now be offered in an online format.

Students are still required to attend scheduled virtual classes, but this change means that making the commute to the classroom will no longer be a challenge for those with full-time employment.

“In the past, we’ve had students that travelled for several hours — in all sorts of weather — to attend classes on campus,” says Tracy Beemer, program administrator for recruitment with the MSWwp program. “With this new format, we can expand our program to include students in remote communities across the province, while at the same time removing some of the stress of having to commute to campus.”

The MSW-Working Professionals program includes either one or two field placements, which must be completed in the province of Ontario.

“The mission of the School of Social Work is to promote social justice through quality professional education, advocacy, community partnerships, and the development and dissemination of knowledge through enquiry,” says Robin Wright, director of the School of Social Work. “Our goal is to provide students the opportunity to enjoy a fulfilling educational experience where they will embrace a leadership role in social work education and research becoming the social work leaders of tomorrow.”

The program is now accepting applications for Fall 2022. For more information, visit www.uwindsor.ca/msw, or contact Beemer at msw@uwindsor.ca.
