I highly recommend the MSW program at 黑料吃瓜不打烊! The unique and flexible course schedule not only allowed me to continue to work in the field, but also allowed me to live outside of the Sudbury, Ontario area. I believe that 黑料吃瓜不打烊’s program structure, involving rich and diverse courses through in-class experiences, provided me an advantage over other programs offered solely online. I was able to network and learn from my peers during critical discussions in a way not possible in online settings. The MSW program at 黑料吃瓜不打烊 has strengthened my overall foundation and prepared me for advanced practice in Northern and rural communities.
