Student Life

Quotes from recent BSW graduates:

“The King’s University College Bachelor of Social Work program has a generalist framework that allows the graduate to seek employment in a variety of settings. It has a solid theoretical base for continuing studies at the MSW level.

“What I remember best about the program is the warm and welcoming environment among colleagues, and the ongoing support shown by all faculty members. Most importantly, the content of the course work was rich in social work theory and challenging to the students in applying theory to practice. This program is best suited for prospective social workers who wish to have a rich generalist social work background that can be applied to any setting.”

“I appreciated the opportunity to complete the professional Social Work program at King’s on a part-time basis (Extended Study Plan). Due to work and family responsibilities, I would not have been able to obtain the BSW (Honors) degree as a full-time student. The ongoing support from the School and fellow students helped me to balance the challenges of the program and my family responsibilities.”

“Being part of the King’s University College Social Work program is being part of a unique community. You find at its foundation, faculty members who not only offer a wealth of knowledge, but genuine support and encouragement. You experience the intensity of the connection and deep level of understanding that is shared with your classmates. You realize that you’re not simply here to learn, but to take social work theory out into the world and experience it. The Social Work program offered at King’s reflects a true understanding that it’s not just about academics – it’s about people, it’s about relationships, and it’s about life.”

Quotes from our MSW graduates:

“I enjoyed the small classes, the friendship, and the opportunities that are available because the community is so close-knit.”
“We were all social workers in the field, so we were skilled and willing to share with each other; that’s what made it a fantastic experience.”
“The MSW experience has opened up new ways of thinking and acting. The program has had a profound impact on me, not only as a professional but also as a person. I’m a much better social worker as a result.”
“I chose to do my MSW to deepen my understanding of community development, and in particular, the challenges faced by newcomers to Canada.”
“It has been exciting to be part of something new. The College has been very receptive to our suggestions.”
“I came into the program to learn and be challenged, not just to get a MSW. It has given me opportunities that I could not have received otherwise, as well as more career options in the future.”
