Effective date of this calendar, unless otherwise indicated, is Sept. 1, 2002 to Aug. 31, 2003. Offered at Langley, Richmond and Surrey Intake: Full-time and Part-time: Semester start. Criminology is an academic discipline that offers students a number of options:
Career OpportunitiesThe Associate of Arts degree and the Criminology Diploma are two-year, four-semester programs. Graduates from these programs can continue their education in fields such as law, social work, and social and behavioural sciences, and are employed in nearly every aspect of the justice system. The Certificate in Criminology is a one-year, two-semester program. Students who are employed in a criminal justice field select this program to explore opportunities for career advancement. Associate of Arts DegreeSFU, UBC and UNBC accept all 60 credits of the Associate of Arts degree. Students transferring to any these universities are accepted as third-year students. Standing in a particular department is dependent on meeting any prerequisites or other conditions established by the specific university. Students with an Associate of Arts degree are admitted to SFU and UNBC with priority over other transfer students. For more information, see the section detailing Arts Program, Associate of Arts Criminology. DiplomaDescriptionThe diploma program revolves around a central core of method and theory that provides a foundation for more advanced study of crime and social responses. Electives reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of criminology. The required courses and electives afford students of criminology an opportunity to develop abstract logical thinking and critical understanding of the issues, arguments and debates that shape the discipline's character and aims.

ContentThe first semester of the certificate program is identical to that in the diploma program. Students have the option of entering the diploma program in the second semester without having to make up additional course work. Those who elect to complete the certificate may select from a number of electives in the second semester. All the courses transfer to SFU and, with one exception, to UBC. Full-time students will normally take 15 credits in each semester, thus completing certificate requirements in two semesters, diploma requirements in four. Part-time students and those from related disciplines are welcomed in criminology courses. Note, however, that students intending to transfer to UBC programs are advised to consider that institution's requirements before registering as a criminology student at Kwantlen.
