What level of students are you seeking?

Do your potential students have the opportunity to work on a funded project?
Possibly.
Is your program/work interdisciplinary?
Primarily focused within social work; opportunity to take electives in other departments (i.e. Indigenous Governance, Public Health, Indigenous Nationhood, Indigenous Education, Child, and Youth Care, etc.) and to collaborate with other students and researchers in other health and helping disciplines.
Are there any prerequisites for admission?
Admission to the Master of Social Work Indigenous Specialization (MSWI) or general Master of Social Work (MSWA) programs require either: 1) a Bachelor of Social Work degree; or 2) successful completion of a one year Master of Social Work Foundation (MSWF) program. UVic admits MSWI and MSWF students in alternating years (i.e. MSWF students in fall 2021, MSWI students in fall 2022) and MSWA students every year. Applicants interested in a SPARR PhD require a master’s degree preferably in social work.
