Overview
This certificate introduces the main issues, concepts, and research areas in criminology, with the option to focus on themes such as crime prevention, policing and security, or sexual offending. The 30-credit program is designed for completion in approximately one year of full-time study, with up to 15 credits recognized through prior learning. Admission for Quebec-educated applicants requires any Diplome d'etudes collegiales (DEC); applicants from elsewhere in Canada need a secondary school diploma plus one year of university study, while international applicants require 13 years of pre-university education, 12 years plus one year of higher education, or an equivalent credential. Non-francophone applicants must pass the Test de connaissance du francais (TCF) with a minimum score of 361/699 on the mandatory sections and 8/20 on the written expression component. Admission is offered for the fall and winter terms, and the program includes some distance-delivered courses alongside primarily campus-based instruction.
