OH! Yes good point. I am talking about the foundations program so that makes sense why the advanced distance program is 2 years and the foundations distance program is 3! ?
Hey Lisaollie! I just had a call with an advisor from U of C and they said that the distance program will take 3 years regardless of whether it is Calgary based or Edmonton based. I guess that is due to how the practicum lines up with the classes etc. Hoping for more info on this soon - she said the information will be up on the website in the summer.
Hey Joyful13! I'm applying for the next cycle for WLU MSW (non-BSW) and was curious how you got the clinical experience without a BSW if you have time to share. I have a BA in Psych as well and would love to get some more experience that is similar to what you have. I currently work for a non-profit (mental health/advocacy). Any tips to get the addictions counsellor, mental health counsellor type roles with a BA in Psych? Is it your SW diploma that helped with that?
Thank you and good luck to you, will be crossing my fingers for you!!! It sounds like you have a ton of experience though - they'd be silly to not accept you!
Wow that's awesome, congrats Samantha123! I was just curious - did they say if there's a time difference in completion between doing it fully remote or doing it in-person in Calgary? When I was researching these options, it seemed like the Edmonton/mostly remote program would take about 3 years, and the in-person Calgary route would take 2 years.
