⦿ In order to apply to our MSW program, all applicants must hold an undergraduate degree in Social Work from an accredited university, with at least a B average.

The MSW program at Lakehead University began in 1992 with a mission to train advanced generalist practitioners for practice in any context, Northern, rural or urban. Faculty members have expertise in many fields of practice, for example, child welfare, health care, mental health, family services, organizational development, food security, gerontology, rural health, Aboriginal and women’s issues. They also have in-depth knowledge and experience in a broad range of social work methods: clinical practice with individuals and families, group work, supervision and administration, community development, social planning and policy analysis. Students are encouraged to use the entire faculty as resources for meeting their learning goals.
