Introduction

The BSW Learning Circles route (formerly Access route) provides opportunities for undergraduate social work education for Alberta students in rural, remote and Aboriginal communities. In order to register in the BSW Learning Circles route, students must be available to attend course offerings in selected rural, remote, and Aboriginal communities.

New applicants should refer to "Admission Requirements" in the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar for regulations regarding University admission requirements.

The overall objective of the BSW program is to prepare students for entry-level general social work practice. The BSW program provides opportunities for students to acquire sufficient knowledge, values, and skills to enable them to maintain a professional standard of practice.

The BSW Learning Circles route promotes access to the BSW degree for students in rural, remote, and Aboriginal communities in Alberta. Specific site locations for any given session may be obtained by telephoning 1-877-282-0667. The BSW Learning Circles Virtual Site offers the curriculum through a blended learning approach integrating technology with some face-to-face opportunities. For more information on the BSW Learning Circles Virtual Site consult the Student Services Office or the web page: http://fsw.ucalgary.ca/learningcircles.

The BSW Learning Circles route provides an undergraduate curriculum that is culturally and geographically relevant to communities outside urban areas. Course content is innovative and aligned with traditional philosophies and knowledge systems. Community collaboration and adaptive delivery methods are key features of the Learning Circles route. The Learning Circles route offers an innovative variation of the BSW program. The final degree remains the accredited 草莓污视频导航 BSW degree.

Core content has been grouped into four theme areas: Generalist Practice in Context; Communication and Information; Diversity and Oppression; Social Work Methods. These form the basis for courses that are listed as Social Work 300-level courses (Social Work 300, 301; 302, 303; 304, 305; 306, 307). Courses related to local region practicum placements are listed as Social Work 400-level courses (Social Work 400, 402, 403). Social work option courses for Learning Circles students have the same 500-level designation as option courses for the students in Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge.

Note: Social Work 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 400, 402 and 403 cannot be taken by students in Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge.

One theme full course and one portfolio project half course are offered in each Fall and Winter Session. The same course set is offered in each site location in any given session. Students can complete four sessions of theme and portfolio project courses over two academic years. Normally the practicum and integration seminar courses will be taken after all social work theme and portfolio courses have been completed. The theme courses and related portfolio projects do not have to be taken in a particular sequence.

Social Work option courses may be taken at any time in the program. Option offerings in block format will be made available in Spring/Summer Sessions.
