The School of Social Work distinguishes itself through strong academics as well as a hands-on, skills-oriented approach to social work practice. Your education will be further enhanced by the School of Social Work and Renison’s missions promoting social justice and community service.
We care about our students and we strive to provide professional and academic guidance to enable our graduates to find their own voices within the profession. Our students assume an active role in their education at Renison.
The professional Social Work program is offered in two ways:
a) Full-time studies are completed in three semesters (10 months) of university study. Students are in academic courses two days a week (Monday and Tuesday) and are in their field practicum three days a week (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday).
b) Part-time studies may be completed within three years of university study. At least one course is offered in each semester either on campus one night a week, through multi-modal formats on-line course delivery with a required on-campus component or in an intensive format. Field practicum requirements are organized to meet student’s individual time frames for program completion.
Students must take courses in both formats in order to complete the degree within three years.
Graduation
The degree of Honours Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) is awarded by the University of Waterloo upon successful completion of the requirements of the program. No degree will be granted to a student who does not complete the program requirements, including the cumulative overall average of 75%. Convocation for all BSW students takes place at the Fall convocations of the University of Waterloo and Renison. Part-time students, who complete their degree on or before the end of the winter term, may also convocate at the Spring convocations.
