The Master of Social Work (MSW) Indigenous Field of Study is the first in Canada to combine a wholistic Indigenous worldview with contemporary social work practice, and includes the use of Indigenous Elders, a traditional circle process and Indigenous ceremonies. You’ll develop an understanding of and respect for the history, traditions and culture of the Indigenous peoples of Canada.
In partnership with the Office of Indigenous Initiatives, Laurier's Centre for Public Safety and Well-Being and the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences, Laurier has launched Gladue Principles courses focused on Indigenous people's experience in the criminal justice system. This content was created as a response to requests to raise awareness of the issues related to Indigenous peoples' experience in the criminal justice system, and more specifically, to experiences from Indigenous people in the court system. Students and working professionals can learn through non-credit and credit courses or sign up for a non-credit certificate. The certificate includes 80 hours of asynchronous course work delivered online.
