Hello everyone. I have my BSW (2018) and I'm applying to the MSW Advanced standing at UVic and Wilfred Laurier for Fall 2020. Am only able to study online so am limited to programs with a distance option. I talked to WLU and they said they get 400-500 applications for the Advanced Standing. Thinking about applying to a third, Dalhousie, but still undecided.
Volunteer experience at an Indigenous agency (200+ hours over 3 year span), 1000s of hours employment in a homeless shelter, post grad worked almost a year in CP and have left for a job in mental health and substance use. I have a solid GPA I think low 90s.
Any suggestions for a distance MSW with a more clinical focus?
Although the CASWE page doesn't list it as a distance program, UNBC seems to have their MSW mostly online. Looking at their MSW courses, they have a very strong Indigenous focus and rural practice focus, and they're CASWE accredited. Might be a good option for some.
Good luck to all who are applying. It sounds pretty competitive.
