Social Work combines compassionate service with evidence-based practice to help individuals and their surroundings. This dynamic field focuses on enhancing wellbeing for people, families, communities, and society as a whole.
The University of Windsor's MSW program equips students with advanced professional training through an ecological systems approach.
It highlights connections between different practice levels, particularly how people interact with their surroundings and how environments shape individuals.
These environments encompass diverse contexts such as family dynamics, organizational structures, service networks, political influences, cultural factors, social pressures, professional ethics, and role considerations in social work.
To be considered for admission to any MSW programs, the School of Social Work requires applicants to have a minimum average of 73% or equivalent. Applicants also must have relevant work, volunteer, or practica experience; excellent reference letters; a strong personal statement; and evidence of successful completion of one undergraduate course in statistics and one in research methods both of which must be related to social sciences. If you have not completed one or both of the required courses, the coordinator of the program can provide you with options for accomplishing these if required prior to admission.
