Program overview
An honours degree in community practice, covering social policy, community organising, programme development, research method and applied placement in community organisations.
Sheridan lists this as an Honours Baccalaureate Degree with CIP not required, because all bachelor programmes are aligned with no field of study restriction.
Honours Bachelor of Social and Community Development is taught at Sheridan College Davis campus in Brampton, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the social and community development degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that applies to college level credentials. Sheridan records the social and community development degree under CIP Not required. That exemption lets the social and community development degree support a post-graduation work permit of up to three years whatever the subject. Ontario still requires a provincial attestation letter before the social and community development degree can support a study permit application.
Applicants to Honours Bachelor of Social and Community Development need a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent with a minimum of 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the social and community development degree is recorded at CAD 17,500. Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the social and community development degree. The social and community development degree lists only two entry windows, the earliest in 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the social and community development degree application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 21 in every section; PTE Academic 60 with no component below 57; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.
- Application and deposit: Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Sheridan offers an International Entrance Scholarship of CAD 3,000 toward tuition. Awards are limited, so budget the full fee regardless.
- Work rights: The social and community development degree is a degree, exempt from the field of study rule, supporting a work permit of up to three years. Sheridan records CIP Not required. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 7 in all four abilities for degree graduates, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No dependant open work permit applies.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
