Langara and 蹤獲扞⑹ announce Social Work partnership
Langara College and the University of Northern British Columbia have announced a partnership that will see spaces in 蹤獲扞⑹s Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree program opened at Langaras Vancouver campus.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed today by Langaras President Dr. Lane Trotter and 蹤獲扞⑹ Interim President Mark Dale.
Were very excited to be building on the partnership we started with the 蹤獲扞⑹ MBA program in 2013, said Dr. Trotter. The unique delivery of the BSW program opens up new educational opportunities for students in the Vancouver area and supports Langaras commitment to providing our diverse student community with the services, programs, skills, and experience to be productive, creative, and engaged global citizens.
The 蹤獲扞⑹ BSW program prepares students for generalist social work practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities. Incorporating critical thinking, including structural, feminist, and anti-racist analyses, the program connects practice to theory and strives to develop critical self-awareness in its students as well as respect for the ideas of others. The BSW program acknowledges the holistic, interdisciplinary, and activist nature of social work and its commitment to social justice.
This partnership with Langara College helps 蹤獲扞⑹ share our passion for research, teaching, and education, said Dr. Dale. The mixed delivery model were offering will allow social work students to complete work during the evenings, on weekends, and online, and provides a real benefit for those seeking to complete the program without leaving the Lower Mainland.
