About

Program details

The Distance Delivery Bachelor of Social Work program is intended to make a Bachelor of Social Work degree accessible to individuals who are employed in the social services and living outside of Winnipeg, but who may not have had the opportunity to pursue professional social work education.

Expected duration: 3 to 9 years

Distance Delivery allows people to achieve a Bachelor of Social Work through two approaches:

To community-based groups using the cohort method.

How courses are delivered

The Distance Delivery program includes a combination of web conferences and online courses.
