Prince George, B.C. – UNBC and Langara College are becoming partners in the delivery of  UNBC's Bachelor of Social Work  degree program.

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by Langara’s President Dr. Lane Trotter and UNBC’s Interim President Dr. Mark Dale. Under the agreement, spaces in UNBC’s Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree program will be opened at Langara’s Vancouver campus.

“We’re very excited to be building on the partnership we started with the UNBC MBA program in 2013,” said Dr. Trotter. “The unique delivery of the BSW program opens up new educational opportunities for students in the Vancouver area and supports Langara’s commitment to providing our diverse student community with the services, programs, skills, and experience to be productive, creative, and engaged global citizens.”

“This partnership with Langara College helps UNBC share our passion for research, teaching, and education,” said Dr. Dale. “The mixed delivery model we’re offering will allow social work students to complete work during the evenings, on weekends, and online, and provides a real benefit for those seeking to complete the program without leaving the Lower Mainland.”
