Information Sessions and Events
Connect with us by attending one of our virtual information sessions or on-campus events for prospective BASW, MSW, and PhD students. Our virtual information sessions are designed to provide an overview of our degree programs and are hosted by one of our Admissions Team members. Sessions will cover our program curriculum, practicum placements (BASW & MSW), program cost and financial aid resources available, student support services, admission requirements, and the admission application process. We will also host a number of on-campus events throughout the year, where we invite prospective students to campus to learn more about our programs and have the opportunity to meet with faculty, administrators, current students, and alumni. A list of upcoming events is listed below and we ask that you please register to attend prior to the event. Once we receive your registration, you will be sent a detailed confirmation shortly before the event date.
