"Which BSW program is the best fit for me?"

Online courses are a combination of scheduled real time classes and learning that can be done on your own schedule. Choose one of our three locations for face-to-face classes: Edmonton, Calgary or Lethbridge*

Our fully Online BSW program is a more flexible option that can be completed in 24 months. The courses are completed entirely online, allowing you to study remotely throughout your studies. Online courses are a combination of scheduled real time classes (Mon. & Wed. evenings | Sat. mornings) and independent learning that can be done on your own schedule.
