Social Work
Together, We Can Do So Much
The Faculty of Social Work is dedicated to providing the highest quality social work education through our internationally recognized programs. Through our bachelor's and master's programs, we teach our students to identify the needs of the disadvantaged, marginalized and oppressed, and empower individuals, families, and communities to realize their full potential. Graduates from our programs find careers in areas including addictions and family counselling, mental health and addictions, child welfare, social policy research and analysis, healthcare, criminal justice, community development, newcomer support, education, activism, advocacy and empowerment.
The Faculty of Social Work provides social work courses in Regina, Saskatoon, the Yukon, Northwest Territories and throughout rural regions of Saskatchewan. We partner with the First Nations University of Canada, Yukon University, Aurora College and various Saskatchewan Regional Colleges.
The University of Regina is situated on Treaty 4 lands with a presence in Treaty 6. These are the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. Today, these lands continue to be the shared Territory of many diverse peoples from near and far. The Faculty works closely with our colleagues at First Nations University of Canada and continues to reach learners and collaborate with partners who are located in communities situated in Treaty territories 4, 6, and 10, the traditional territories of the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota, Lakota, Dakota, Dene, Gwich’in, Tlicho, and Sahto Nations, and the historical homelands of the Métis people.

The Faculty of Social Work continues to collaborate with community members toward a common goal – to make a difference. Without our community partners, our efforts to this end would be fruitless. Our partners are many: governmental departments, research institutes, advocacy groups, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, the media and professional bodies (namely the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers (SASW), the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) and the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE)).
