The Life Sciences Gateway program offers problem-based and inquiry learning experiences that will challenge you to think independently, and to apply the knowledge you gain. Mathematics and Statistics study patterns underlying diverse phenomena such as the weather, human and animal populations, stock markets, the form of a molecule, or the structure of the space and the time. Using mathematics, we discover subtle and sometimes unexpected features of these phenomena; as well , we can predict their behaviour, which is an extremely important component of our understanding of the world and the space that surrounds us.
Statistics can help us make sense of large data sets and complex systems in areas such as astronomy, genomics, social networks, climate simulation, and medicine. Statisticians examine the patterns which arise in data with the goal of distinguishing true patterns from chance effects.
NOTE: Before selecting courses, it is very important that students review the admission requirements for each of the Level II programs that they are considering. In contrast to the Level I Gateway programs, students enter directly into these programs and the first-year curriculum is a set of prescribed, required courses that must be completed before advancing to Level II of the program.

The McMaster University School of Social Work is partnering with child welfare agencies in southwestern Ontario to offer an enhanced educational experience to BSW students in the areas of child welfare and child protection.
PCPCW emphasizes knowledge, skills, and attitudes that underpin child welfare work, and nurtures student attitudes and critical thinking abilities by drawing on current research and best practice from around the world, including Indigenous approaches to child welfare. Emphasis will be placed on the policy and practice limitations and possibilities of various child welfare systems that students may work within. Attention is paid to producing graduates with the potential for future leadership within child welfare who can successfully work within the system while also having the ability to think outside them.
Students who successfully secure a placement will be provided with support and mentorship from Field Instructors who are linked to and familiar with PCPCW.
PCPCW students will take two new courses on casework designed to integrate theory and practice with a particular focus on child welfare. Registration in these courses will be limited to 12 students. PCPCW students will develop increased academic knowledge about child welfare practice, as well as a broader awareness of and commitment to increased quality service.
PCPCW students will have the opportunity to apply critical social work skills in both simulated and real child welfare settings where practice is fast-paced, highly regulated, usually complex, often conflictual, and where attention to issues of power, anti-oppression, decolonization, and other social justice issues is crucial. Students who participate in PCPCW and complete their 4th year SOCWORK 4D06 placement at a participating child welfare agency will have the opportunity to liaise with these stakeholders and engage in cross-sectoral, community development social work practice.
Child welfare agencies develop and offer unique programs and pilot projects to respond to client and community needs. Students who participate in PCPCW will have the opportunity to be exposed to and engage with these programs as part of their 4th year placement. Unique programs and pilot projects will be communicated when students are considering agencies for their 4th year placement.
BSW students should express their interest to participate in the PCPCW pathway as soon as possible to ensure that they plan their program units carefully. Students are encouraged to have a back-up plan and to keep in mind that given the number of required units in the pathway, they may not be able to complete a Minor if already in progress.
Students who have been granted an exemption are asked to contact Tammy Maikawa to determine what is required to confirm eligibility for the PCPCW pathway.
The selection committee will be reviewing the overall progress of the student, and confirming whether the student has developed and demonstrated social work knowledge, skills, and attitudes as part of their SOCWORK 3DD6 Field Practicum to the level that makes them ready to succeed in the advanced theory and process courses.
