This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Criminology and Justice, specializing in Youth, Crime and Justice, over four years (five with the co-op option), delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus, examining youthful offending and victimization and systems of youth justice in Canada and elsewhere, with particular emphasis on contemporary issues in youth justice and the effectiveness of the justice system in dealing with young people in conflict with the law. The broader Criminology and Justice curriculum critically analyzes criminological and sociological explanations of why people commit crimes and how societies define crime and criminals, drawing on criminology, sociology, philosophy, psychology and law. The specialization can be taken with the Criminology and Justice program. A direct-entry co-op option offers full-time, paid work terms applied for directly through the OUAC application. It suits students aiming at careers such as child and youth worker, residential youth counsellor, probation officer, or corrections officer.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University states no admission requirements specific to Youth, Crime and Justice beyond the OSSD prerequisites it lists and its general English proficiency policy. Applicants need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/4M credits, including English (ENG4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums 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, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins in September and January.
