Program details
Overview
The Certificate in Criminology is a 21-credit-hour, seven-course credential offered at Memorial University's St. John's campus, introducing the Canadian legal system, law, and correctional and justice systems with both provincial and federal focus. Coursework such as Mental Health, Social Control, and the Law, Sex Work, and Violence examines the social structures and practices underlying criminal justice. The certificate suits students already working in law enforcement, corrections, social work, or rehabilitation, as well as those studying society more broadly or aiming for nonprofit-sector work. It functions as an add-on credential for students admitted to another Memorial University program rather than a standalone degree; direct admission is not available. Prospective students apply through the general undergraduate admissions process, and currently admitted students add the certificate by contacting the Criminology Undergraduate Program Director.
