Degree Completion allows you to apply your diploma credits towards a Sheridan degree. You'll get significant credit for the courses you completed in your diploma, which means you can complete your degree and advance your career sooner.
The Bachelor of Social and Community Development (BSCD) program is only available to students who have completed a diploma in Social Service Worker, Social Service Worker – Gerontology, Community Worker or an equivalent program. Students from these programs who meet the admission requirements will be able to enter directly into the third year of this degree, without taking any additional bridging courses.
Programs in the human services area that have a similar structure to the Social Service Worker, Social Service Worker – Gerontology, or Community Worker program will be considered on a case-by-case basis. In this situation, applicants may be required to submit an additional portfolio or complete some bridging courses. View the admission requirements for more information.
Sheridan's Bachelor of Social and Community Development (BSCD) program is approved by the same Ministry of College and Universities as a university degree. As a graduate of this program, you’ll have equal opportunities to pursue graduate studies or apply for jobs that require a degree.
While the BSCD is equivalent to a university degree, it has the added benefit of 1,020 hours of experiential learning through your practicum and internship.
The BSCD is not a pathway to a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), but it can provide a pathway to a Master of Social Work (MSW) at some institutions. Several universities expressed support for the BSCD, acknowledging that successful graduates from the degree would be eligible to apply for their MSW programs.
A variety of online and face-to-face options are planned for this program. We’ll be scheduling courses with students' needs in mind.
This program does not currently have a part-time offering. However, we’re happy to work with you to create a schedule that works for you.
As part of your degree, you’ll automatically be enrolled in Sheridan’s Composition and Rhetoric course. You'll take three other Degree Breadth Elective courses in this program, which you’ll be able to select based on your interests and to complement the core curriculum.
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities sets tuition fees for diploma and degree programs. Degree program fees are higher than the fees you paid in your diploma. View the fees for this program.
We understand that your education is a big investment, and we’re here to help! There are many financial aid options available, including entrance scholarships for eligible applicants. View Fees & Financial Aid for details.

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.
Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.
The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.
Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.
The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.
The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.
