Honours Bachelor of Social and Community Development

About this programme

This program is designed for students who have completed a diploma in Social Service Work, Social Service Work – Gerontology, Child and Youth Care, Community Work or an equivalent program. Students from these programs who meet the admission requirements will be able to enter directly into the third year of this degree. No bridging courses are required to get into this unique program, which consists of four semesters and an internship. Today's human service organizations require workers who have critical thinking, research and leadership abilities. This program is built to address those needs. Skills you’ll learn include: Work directly with Sheridan’s experienced professors and our large network of community practitioners. You'll work on a research project and provide solutions to real-world issues brought forward by our community partners, who will then provide you with valuable feedback. You'll also practice those skills during a four-month summer internship . You can choose to take this program remotely (fully online) or through our hybrid delivery model (a combination of in-person and online courses). You can also choose to take courses in the daytime or the evening — whichever works best for your schedule. No matter which delivery mode you choose, you'll have opportunities to build rich relationships and a strong sense of community in this engaging program. Once you complete this degree, you may choose to pursue further studies to build on the skills and experience that you've developed.
