Diploma

Full and Part-Time —2022-2023

PROGRAM LENGTH: 2 years (20 months)

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Social workers are trained to "help people to help themselves." Our Social Work Program looks at how to
help people meet the demands of daily life. It looks at how social work seeks to improve people's problem-solving and coping
skills, and links them with systems that offer resources, services, and opportunities. It emphasizes the development of
generalist knowledge, values, and skills to practice with individuals, families, communities, and organizations. Themes in this
two-year program include competency working in different cultures, recognizing and dealing with oppression, practice in
northern and rural communities, and a focus on holistic practice. In a supportive atmosphere, students are encouraged to
develop personal insights and approaches to social work practice. This program includes a blend of core social work theory
and practice courses, along with university level courses which include the following: English, psychology, health education,
sociology, political science, and one other arts and science elective. Students have the choice of completing the required
university transfer courses before starting the program, during the program, or upon completion of the core social work
courses. Graduates are prepared for entry level practice positions or to continue their education in a degree program.
Graduates are eligible for registration with the Alberta College of Social Workers
