CoursesAdmission Requirements

 

The Indigenous Field of Study Master of Social Work (MSW) program is completely informed by an Indigenous worldview.

Our goal is to develop social work practitioners who demonstrate an understanding of, and respect for, the history, traditions and cultures of Canada's Indigenous Peoples. This unique program includes the involvement of Indigenous Elders, a traditional circle process, and Indigenous ceremonies. Students explore and further their own holistic growth and learn from work in cultural camps, in classes, and in the field. Academic knowledge is balanced with experiential learning and the need to practice on the basis of Indigenous worldviews.

This is an advanced standing graduate degree program for individuals who already have a Bachelor of Social Work. This program is delivered in partnership with Wilfrid Laurier University. Once students have submitted an application through FNTI, a Laurier application must be submitted through the Ontario University Application Centre.
