Learn Close to Home

In the Faculty of Social Work we strive to make our programs accessible to all students, whether they live close to one of our urban campuses, near a regional college in rural Saskatchewan, or even in the remote regions of Northern Canada.

In addition to offering courses taught face-to-face in these locations, with the help of the Distance Learning Division we are also able to offer Social Work courses throughout Saskatchewan via televised, online and video-conference delivery methods.  With online courses and a wide range of local practicum opportunities, the possibilities with regard to student accessibility are endless, and students across Canada may work towards becoming certified Social Workers through the University of Regina.
