Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Master of Arts in Criminology and Social Justice, delivered through the Faculty of Arts over three semesters. The curriculum emphasizes social justice and critical analysis of existing criminal justice, legal, and social structures, building theoretical, methodological, and professional foundations for understanding inequality within the criminal justice system and improving access to justice. Students choose among three completion pathways: a Major Research Paper option, a coursework and field placement option, or a coursework-only option, all requiring eight credits including two core seminars and a research methods course. The program suits students pursuing research, policy, or applied careers in criminal justice, criminology, legal studies, or social justice advocacy, and provides a foundation for further doctoral study in the field.
