Program Design - Diploma
The Human Service Work Diploma replaces the CYFS Diploma: Mental Health. The diploma program is offered online and part-time to students who have completed the Human Service Work Certificate or its equivalent.
Students who wish to take the HSW diploma courses, and who have a certificate other than in Human Services, may do so by providing documentation of their certificate to registration upon admission.
You will earn a Diploma in Child, Youth and Family Studies.
(Note: a certificate should include a minimum of 45 credits and 180 hours of practical experience. If it is less than 45 credits, students will need to complete enough courses to total 60 credits.)
Complete any five of the following courses ( a minimum of 4 from the Required course list and a maximum of 1 from the Electives course list).
