ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE IN CRIMINOLOGY

DESCRIPTION

While obtaining the benefits of study across several disciplines, students in this program concentrate on theories of crime, law, and the administration of justice in Canada. Students are immersed in a multidisciplinary approach to understanding crime in context, how different communities respond to crime in Canada, crime statistics, and different methods that can be used in researching crime and social control. Students who obtain their Associate of Arts in Criminology with a CGPA of 3.0 are eligible to apply for admission to the third year Bachelor of Arts Community Criminal Justice or with a CGPA of 2.0 to the Bachelor of Arts Criminology Major or Double Minor Criminology. Students must ensure they meet all third year requirements for the Bachelor of Arts programs. Students with a CGPA of 2.67 may be admitted to the BA CCJ on a case-by-case basis, space permitting.
