Associate Degree in Social Work (Pre-Major)

Social workers have a vital role in our society. They help individuals, couples, families, groups, communities and organizations develop the skills and resources they need to effectively function in our society. If you are empathetic, understanding, able to work in difficult situations, and have a desire to help others, you can have a fulfilling career in social work. The Social Work Pre-Major consists of courses primarily focused on social sciences and humanities. Completion of the two-year Associate Degree prepares you for competitive admission into Year 3 in a Social Work degree program at many BC and Alberta institutions. This pre-major pathway provides the first two full years of study towards a four-year degree. All Social Work courses are taken in the final two years of study.
