Description:

Students wishing to pursue the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Regina can take the entire degree at Parkland College in Yorkton. Applicants must first enroll in the Social Work Qualifying Program. Qualifying students must complete 30 university credit hours before applying to be fully accepted to the BSW Program. To graduate with a BSW, students must successfully complete both the General University Studies (GUS) and the Social Work (SW) portions of our program. Each portion is worth 60 credit hours totalling 120 credit hours of university studies, including the courses taken in the qualifying program. Professional social work education involves the acquisition of knowledge and skills through academic study and through supervised practice, which is called practicum. In the BSW Program, students will complete two of these field education experiences in SW 348 & SW 448.

As a qualifying student you need to complete 30 Credit units of classes to be able to apply to the Faculty of Social Work as a BSW Student. At Parkland College we build a first year of classes for you with a partnership with U of S. You do not need to be a U of S student but you are able to take courses as a visiting student. This process is made easy through completing a Campus Saskatchewan (Common Visiting Student) Form.
