Hello,
I’ve been following this thread for awhile now, but this is my first post. I applied to MSW programs a couple of years ago but didn’t get in so this year I applied to the HBSW program at Lakhead and the distance education BSW from Dalhousie. I’ve been accepted into Lakeheads (Orillia) HBSW program and am trying to decide if I accept or not. I won’t hear back from Dalhousie until May. I am currently trying to come up with a list of pros and cons for each program... I was wondering if anyone would be able/willing to offer me some insight... (thank you Karisma for the info above)
I realize Lakeheads program is 1 year and Dalhousie is a 2 year program but was also wondering if someone could confirm that both provide the ability to register as a social worker in Ontario upon graduation?
I am a mature (almost 40 eek!) single mom to a 6 month old and am struggling with the idea of leaving her each day to attend class. However, I also appreciate that attending Lakehead means I could be done my schooling and have a bit more time for her in the future as I would only have to balance parenting and school for 1 year not 2... I thought my anxiety level would decrease not increase when I received an offer of admission! Decisions decisions.... any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
