The NVIT Social Work Program emphasizes the knowledge and skills relevant to both First Nations and mainstream individuals, families and communities. The school is committed to the principles of social justice and community healing and change. NVIT works to increase students' knowledge and skills based on First Nations culture, values, and philosophy.
Elders are a valued part of our program.
Through classroom experience and critical analysis, students are encouraged to design an ethical social work framework valuing diversity, equality, respect, and the dignity and worth of all peoples. Part time students are welcome. The NVIT Social Work Program offers a Bachelor Degree in Social Work from the University College of the Cariboo. Students must successfully meet all NVIT requirements and UCC BSW degree requirements. A sessional grade point average below 2.33 may result in withdrawal from the program or academic probation.
