About Master of Social Work Program
Lakehead University offers a Master in Social Work (MSW) degree which emphasizes an advanced generalist practice approach to working with individuals, families, communities, organizations and political systems in the context of a northern environment. The curriculum focuses on the knowledge, values and skills necessary for professional practice in environments characterized by urban regional centres, rural and remote communities, large geographic distances, low population density, diverse First Nations communities and people, and a mix of formal services.
Lakehead’s MSW program emphasizes advanced professional practice which is normally obtained by completing the project track. All students will be accepted into a project track. Early in their program, AFTER consultation with their faculty supervisors, students who prefer the thesis track may request a change from the Graduate Coordinator.
