Hi forbuss,
I'm a recent grad from Dal's distance BSW program. I got in with only ~1.5 years of undergrad credits...but did have significant experience in the field (e.g. running therapeutic gardening programs for at-risk youth, being a youth program coordinator at a camp for children living with (dis)Abilities, working at a group home for adults living with mental illness, and extensive volunteering in the Restorative Justice field). I also had ~3 years experience working as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, with a special focus on offering community-based interventions (e.g. therapeutic cooking classes at a local hospital, low/no-cost group workshops to foster rural food security, etc.) - so that may have played in my favor as well.
...Does this help answer your Q at all? Please feel free to ask anything else you may be wondering about - whether it's related to Dal's acceptance process and/or their program in general
Best of luck!!!
