Criminology

The Honours Criminology BA program and minor, and CC courses are only available at the Brantford Campus.

The Brantford Campus has developed a broad, comprehensive Honours BA Criminology program, which will suit students who wish to use criminology as a basis for a variety of different career paths. Especially as students combine criminology with the contemporary studies program, they will emerge with solid critical thinking, communication and writing skills, and with significant credentials for advanced careers in criminology in Canada and beyond.

The certificate and diploma in criminology provides academic training to professionals and mature students working in the field of criminal justice, thus allowing them to improve their effectiveness on the job. The curriculum is not designed to satisfy specific employment credentials, but encourages those engaged in the administration of justice to critically evaluate and consider the increasingly complex challenges of our criminal justice system. The required courses and electives afford students with an opportunity to develop skills in logical thinking and critical analysis. These programs encourage professional development for individuals with at least one year of related formal work experience.
