General Information

The Bachelor of Social Work Honours program combines a Liberal Arts education with professional preparation. The primary objective of the program is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to begin entry level practice in Social Work.

The School's orientation places a strong emphasis on sensitivity to the individual and on the development of innovative strategies for working with people both individually and collectively. The School also stresses an awareness of and a capacity for analysis of the social policies and administrative practices that affect the lives of many people in our society. Analyses of class, gender and race relations are considered central to the program. The program's core courses and field practice are structured so that students develop first a broad understanding of societal forces as well as skills in direct practice, social administration and policy.

The Carleton School of Social Work is committed to Educational Equity. The society in which we live and of which Social Work is a constituent part, is composed of people distinguished by their differential access to power—economic, political, and social. The School affirms the principle that all people should have the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment. Educational Equity applies, but is not limited to persons of aboriginal and racial, cultural, and/or ethnic minority origin; persons with disabilities; lesbian, gay and bisexual persons; and persons disadvantaged by their gender or economic position. Educational equity is consistent with a continuing commitment to meeting high standards of academic practice competence.

Educational Equity provides for Social Work education to people who otherwise might not have such an opportunity. It also brings into Social Work students whose life experiences enable them to challenge the accepted structure of Social Work itself.

Admission Requirements

This Calendar specifies the general conditions of entry that apply to all undergraduate programs.

For admission to First year of Social Work, there are two components:

1. The OSSD or the equivalent, with an average of 65 percent or better, including six OACs or the successful completion of Qualifying-University year.

2. Preference will be given to applicants with a minimum of one year Human service experience. Human service work may be met by employment and/or volunteer activities. Each applicant is requested to complete a personal data information document, which will assist in the evaluation of their suitability for the program.

Consideration may be extended to other applicants under Mature Applicant regulations.

The number of student spaces in the School is limited; therefore, it may not be possible to grant admission to all applicants who meet the foregoing requirements.

Students who meet the Faculty Honours continuation standards will be considered for transfer into the Second year of the B.S.W. program when spaces are available.

Students who have completed an undergraduate degree are normally admitted into the program with Third-year standing. Students with Third-year standing are eligible to take Social Work 52.300.

Community College Applicants

Articulation Agreements between the School of Social Work at Carleton University and several Community Colleges have been negotiated to facilitate the application of their graduates in their Human or Social Service Worker Programs to the Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W. Honours). Agreements have been established with Algonquin College, Sir Sanford Fleming College and St. Lawrence College (Cornwall & Kingston). Graduates of these Programs applying to Carleton University can receive up to five credits toward the B.S.W. degree.

Equity Admissions

In the context of the admissions policy of Carleton University, the School of Social Work has an equity admissions policy that applies to candidates from groups that have been disadvantaged in respect to access to many social institutions in Canadian society. Educational Equity applies to, but is not limited to, persons of aboriginal and racial, cultural, and/or ethnic minority origin; persons with disabilities; lesbian, gay and bisexual persons; and persons disadvantaged by their gender or economic position.

All students are required to meet the School of Social Work continuation standards and graduation requirements.

Off-Campus Program

Bachelor of Social Work in First Nations Communities

The School of Social Work is involved in the presentation of the undergraduate degree programs on location in First Nation's communities. All of the programs have been developed as a result of discussions initiated by the communities themselves. The School has responded to these requests, setting up BSW programs over the past 6 years at several sites in Ontario and Quebec. Out of these experiences both the School and the University have learned a great deal about working collaboratively with First Nations communities. The School is currently involved in partnerships with the First Nations Technical Institute located at Tyendinaga in Eastern Ontario, with the Rainy Lake Ojibway Education Authority (RLOEA) located in Northwestern Ontario and with Akwesasne located on the St. Lawrence River, in both Ontario and Quebec.
