Welcome to the Faculty of Social Work

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality social work education, while teaching our students to identify the needs of the disadvantaged, marginalized and oppressed, and empower individuals, families, and communities to realize their full potential.

Study Locations

In the Faculty of Social Work we place a strong emphasis on student accessibility.  In addition to our Regina campus location, we offer social work courses at our Saskatoon and Prince Albert campuses, in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and throughout rural regions of Saskatchewan.  We partner with the First Nations University of Canada, Yukon and Aurora Colleges, Regional Colleges throughout Saskatchewan, as well as the Distance Learning Division of the Centre for Continuing Education at the University of Regina.
