Discover Indigenous worldviews and approaches while pursuing a Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work (HBISW) degree, which qualifies you for provincial registration and licensure with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). Available both on-campus and online, this career-focused program equips you with the expertise, abilities, and hands-on training needed to serve both Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations effectively.
The curriculum provides a thorough grounding in social work through courses covering social welfare systems and practical applications, while deepening your knowledge of both Indigenous and mainstream theories. You'll study Anishnaabe traditional wisdom, concepts, and methodologies under the guidance of Indigenous educators, with the endorsement of the School of Indigenous Relations.
Additionally, the program includes two compulsory field placements during your third and fourth years, giving you 700 hours of real-world experience to apply your classroom learning in professional social work environments.
