BRIDGE: A prescribed set of foundational courses that leads to qualification for entry into a degree program.

COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS: Students benefit from a partnership between our university and another post-secondary institution. For example, the university’s Post-RPN program is offered in partnership with Durham College and Georgian College.

DIPLOMA‑TO‑DEGREE: Students receive a prearranged block of credits for their college diploma and proceed into an upper year of study.

DIRECT ENTRY: Successful applicants will receive two full years of advanced standing for their college diploma and will immediately enter their third year of study.

GENERAL ARTS AND SCIENCE TRANSFER: Successful applicants will receive one year of advanced standing for their college certificate and will immediately enter their second year of study.

SOCIAL SCIENCE AND HUMANITIES

CRIMINOLOGY AND JUSTICE

Bachelor of Arts (BA) (Honours)

Practicum (by application)

Downtown Oshawa

Crime is not committed in a vacuum. It occurs in a particular socio-economic and political context. Criminology examines the broader social and individual contexts that lead to criminal behaviour. It also examines how criminal justice is shaped by larger social, political and technological contexts, and how they are translated into practice in agencies such as the police, courts, corrections, the juvenile system, and various social and government service agencies.

Our program explores and critically analyzes criminological and sociological theories of why people commit crime. It also examines how societies define crime and who is considered a criminal.

This program approaches the study of crime from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on a rich tradition from criminology, sociology, philosophy, psychology and law. In addition to examining why crime is committed, you will be encouraged to think about crime, criminal justice and its administration in ways that are consistent with the principles of fairness, equity, peace and justice.

You may pursue the comprehensive program or a specialization in one of:

• Criminal Justice • Youth, Crime and Justice
