It is important to note that this program is open only to residents of Canada (citizens and permanent residents) who are currently living in Canada.
You can choose between full-time and part-time听studies. Many of our students complete their degree part-time while working full-time jobs.听We鈥檒l work with you to create a course sequence听that fits your life as well as your degree requirements.
You should expect to spend about 3 hours per course per week on course activities and 6-8 hours per course per week on readings and/or assignments, just like a campus class.
Each course is divided into modules. Within each module, you can log in to the course and complete your work at times that fit your schedule.
All tests and assignments can be submitted online. You do not have to arrange for proctored examination locations in your home community.
NOTE: Students taking the online delivery option are required to complete a one- to two-week residency on campus (Halifax, NS) during a Summer term.
As a BSW student, you will complete a 700-hour Field Placement (Practicum) at a social work agency in your home community.
Your online experience will be comparable to the campus experience, and your degree will be exactly the same.
Your BSW Student Advisor can help you navigate your online course planning. Email bsw.advising@dal.ca if you have any questions.
