Tue, June 5, 2018

HINTON – GPRC and its partners at the University of Calgary will offer a Bachelor of Social Work degree completion opportunity in the West Yellowhead region starting September 2019.

The Bachelor of Social Work program has been offered on GPRC’s Grande Prairie campus for more than 20 years and has been hosted in several communities throughout northwestern Alberta. The program’s unique community-based Learning Circle model is tailored to students in the region and accommodates students currently working in the profession as well as distance students.

Classes are held on Friday evenings and all day Saturdays every second weekend for five to eight weekends each semester to accommodate students who are working or have to travel to attend classes.

GPRC is hosting information sessions this month for people who would like to learn more about this opportunity.
