This specialization is offered within the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Criminology and Justice program, over four years (five with the co-op option), delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus. Students examine historical and contemporary patterns of social control, focusing on the three main institutions of formal control: police, courts and corrections. The program draws on criminology, sociology, philosophy, psychology and law to analyze why crime occurs, how societies define crime and who is considered a criminal, while situating criminal justice administration within principles of fairness, equity, peace and justice. A direct-entry co-op option provides full-time, paid work terms alongside coursework, and a fourth-year practicum placement offers 100 hours of fieldwork with a community organization. It suits students aiming at careers such as corrections officer, probation officer, policy analyst, government researcher, or social services worker.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University requires current Ontario secondary school students to complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M courses, including English (ENG4U). Admission is competitive: the specific average required varies from year to year based on school marks, subject distribution and performance in relevant subjects; last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimum course requirements does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, or an IB Diploma or certificate with a minimum grade of 4 in English A. The program begins each September and January.
