All programs allow students to gain skills in developing policy, lobbying for social change, providing counselling, mediation and advocacy, administering community programs and researching social issues. Intensive fieldwork assignments throughout the programs will provide experience working with children, youth, adults and older people who may be experiencing difficulties.
