The School of Social Work at the University of Windsor is involved in an exciting new expansion of its unique programs, which builds on its long history as a leader in social work education in southwestern Ontario.

As well, the School of Social Work offers an Honours Degree in Disability Studies in collaboration with the Department of Psychology. At the graduate level, the School offers a one-year advanced standing degree for BSW degree holders and a two-year degree for students holding a four-year/honours undergraduate degree in a related social science discipline or helping profession leading to the degree of Master of Social Work (MSW). Commencing in fall 2009, the School of Social Work will be offering a dual MSW and LLB (Law) degree opportunity and in fall 2010, launch a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Social Work emphasizing civic engagement. Our exceptional faculty members are committed to research, teaching and service, which makes the School an exciting place for scholarship and professional development.
