Ok great! I saw those but I wasn't sure if they gave out any entrance scholarships for the post-degree program, nothing was mentioned in the acceptance letter but I know York doesn't usually cheap out on students haha. If you accept let me know! I will be accepting the program while staying on the waitlist for UofT 2-year.
My understanding of the York program is that it's very macro and social justice based, similar to their masters program. It's also very flexible, when I spoke to the admissions person, she said you can chose to schedule all your classes to just 2 days a week, which is great for me as I can keep working and if classes are in person, I can limit that days I have to do the long commute. She also said the first year is all classes but you can choose for the second year to be all practicum if you want, which is really nice!
I found this this booklet which really helped, it also has all of the course descriptions: https://www.yorku.ca/laps/sowk/wp-content/uploads/sites/217/2020/11/BSW-Student-Handbook-2020-2021-SEPT-2020-FNL.pdf
That's great thanks for the info! I'm really interested in macro social work but I'm worried they program won't prepare me well for micro-level work and counseling. Do you happen to know if we'll be trained in this as well?

Hi! I got accepted to the York post-degree program about 2 weeks ago. I'm still on the waitlist for UofT. I'm just wondering, have you got any information about funding for the post-degree at York? i.e. if there is any? ?
I think there is! If you look on their website they have some info about scholarships and stuff I'm not sure when you apply for them though

Does anyone here have experience with the post-degree programs at Dalhousie (online) or York? I'm trying to decide between the two of them and would appreciate any advice!

These are the same programs I applied for, same outcomes, except still waiting on the post-degree BSW update! Do you mind me asking what the first letter of your last name is? Wondering if they do it alphabetically, because I'm an 'S', so I want to prepare myself for the worst lol
My last name starts with an M, so they might be getting to you soon! They sent me an email on the 27th but I saw that I was accepted a few days before on My File. Good luck!! Hang in there, I know waiting can be so frustrating.

I had this exact same experience two years ago (literally rejected from York's 2-year MSW and waitlisted from U of T) and I loved the post-degree BSW program at York. I absolutely love York's School of Social Work and I felt like the Post-Degree program really provided me with a foundation for grad school.
That's wonderful to hear, thank you! Did you find the program challenging or was there a lot of overlap from undergrad?

Does anyone here have some advice about post-degree BSW vs. two year MSW programs? I've been rejected from York's MSW, waitlisted for U of T and was just accepted to York's post degree BSW. Does anyone have some experience with the post degree programs?

Hi everyone! So far I’ve received acceptances from the advanced standing programs at McGill, U of T and York (I’m still waiting to hear back from Laurier). I’m very torn between U of T and York - York offered me an amazing funding package but I’ll have to take on student loans from U of T. And they’re very different programs, I’m worried I won’t get enough skills from York while U of T offers me very relevant skills for working with children and families. Does anyone have some advice? How much does your MSW matter in terms of finding work in the future?
