Social Work Education

Social workers have university degrees in social work: Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), Master of Social Work (MSW) or Doctorate in Social Work (PhD/DSW).

Twelve universities across Ontario provide professional education for social workers.

OASW recognizes degrees from programs accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Social Work and foreign degrees evaluated as equivalent by the Canadian Association of Social Workers.
