Distance education

Flexible learning

Distance education helps you fit your learning needs into your daily life. Distance education uses online learning technologies, such as Moodle and Elluminate, to deliver courses to students across Canada over the web.

In our flexible BSW program, you can combine online, on-campus and blended learning classes, or complete your degree online in your home community and  attend one five-day required classroom session at the University of Victoria.

Similarly, our MSW programs are offered online, on-campus and through a combination of intersession summer institute and online delivery of instruction.
