St. Thomas University – New Brunswick, Canada
1. Overview and Location
St. Thomas University (STU) in Fredericton, New Brunswick, focuses on liberal arts education. Those interested in postgraduate studies should look specifically at the Master of Social Work (MSW) program and should not assume the university offers a full range of Master’s and PhD programs in all fields.
2. Master's Options
The MSW program focuses on advanced clinical practice. The one-year track is for those with a suitable Social Work degree; the two-year track is for those with an undergraduate background in social sciences and the required prerequisite courses. The university should not be presented as having a broad doctoral catalog.
3. Requirements and Application
For international BSW degrees, it is necessary to check the equivalency recognition requirements of the CASWE. International applications require a WES assessment; you must read the checklist carefully to follow the correct track and prepare the required degrees, transcripts, and documents. Contact Admissions to confirm language proficiency thresholds and your ability to meet prerequisite course requirements.
4. International Tuition and Classification
The 2026–2027 fee schedule lists the international MSW at 2,393 CAD per 3-credit course. This is a per-course fee, not a total annual or degree cost. For example, 10 courses at this rate would equal 23,930 CAD in tuition; this is only a budgetary calculation, not a confirmation of the actual number of courses in the track. Reference group: Average Tuition. You must obtain the total credits, duration, and mandatory fees for the specific program to prepare a budget estimate.
5. Budget and Scholarships
Budget separately for insurance, housing, food, transportation, and books. Ask the university about support sources available to international students; only deduct confirmed scholarships from your budget. A price of 0 CAD on KeyApply indicates a request for consultation, not the university's tuition.
6. Preparation Before Applying
Select the MSW track based on your current degree; confirm the intake period, deadline, and all application requirements. KeyApply supports program selection, application preparation, and communication with the university. Immigration needs are referred to an RCIC or the designated attorney.
