Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care (Third-Year Entry)

Program Overview

Ryerson's Direct Entry program in Child and Youth Care was designed to meet the career and professional needs of experienced Child and Youth Care practitioners. The program builds on the Diploma in Child and Youth Work offered at most Ontario Colleges, and is intended for those who have work experience in the field. Graduates of the degree-completion program will be able to assume greater responsibilities in a variety of areas, including residential treatment centres, school boards, community programs, hospitals, and Children's Aid Societies.

The Direct Entry program in Child and Youth Care is designed to accomplish several related objectives, namely:

  • to enhance the student's awareness of the broader intellectual and professional context of the provision of services for children and adolescents;
  • to foster the development of critical capacities to understand the role of the educated professional in a social and cultural context;
  • to build on the base of knowledge, expertise and practical experience obtained through Diploma studies and subsequent work, to enable the graduate to assume advanced levels of therapeutic and organizational responsibility;
  • to develop the capacity to critically evaluate and to contribute to the emerging professional literature in the field;
  • to enable interested graduates to qualify for admission to post-baccalaureate educational programs in Child and Youth Care or in related fields.
