Program details
Overview
This program at the University of Guelph-Humber is a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Justice & Public Safety offered as a degree-completion pathway, delivered part-time and entirely online. It does not follow the four-year, placement-based structure of the university's other justice offerings; instead it is designed for students who already have substantial work experience in justice or public-safety fields along with prior postsecondary study, whether a completed college diploma or a body of university-level coursework. The program allows these students to complete a full degree in a shortened timeframe by building on and recognizing their existing education and professional background. Coursework is oriented toward advancing careers already underway in policing, corrections, or related public-safety roles, supporting further study or leadership positions such as police leadership, research analysis, or graduate studies in criminology, public administration, political science, or leadership more broadly. The program suits working professionals seeking to formalize existing experience into a university credential without leaving the workforce, rather than students beginning their justice studies from a standard undergraduate entry point.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This is a part-time, online degree-completion pathway rather than direct entry: applicants need at least three years of full-time work in a justice or public-safety-related field, plus one of a completed recognized college diploma in an academic field with a minimum 70% average, or at least ten university-level courses with a minimum 65% average; the university treats anyone with prior postsecondary study as a transfer applicant. The programme page states no language score of its own, so the University of Guelph-Humber's institution-wide English Language Proficiency Requirements apply where a language test is required: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT total 89 with no section below 21, PTE Academic overall 60 with no component below 60, CAEL overall 70, or Duolingo English Test overall 110, all under two years old. No portfolio or interview is stated.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For current Ontario or other-Canadian-province secondary-school applicants (OSSD/equivalent completing 2026-27), Fall 2027 OUAC applications open in September 2026 and close June 1, 2027, with U of GH's own supplementary application due April 1, 2027, decisions released by May 28, 2027, and offers to be accepted by June 1, 2027. The international-applicant and 'already graduated domestic' pages have not been updated to this cycle: they still show the passed Winter 2026 (November 1, 2025) and Fall 2026 (May 1, 2026) deadlines, with no Fall 2027 or Winter 2027 date yet published for either group. Admission is otherwise handled on a rolling basis once conditions are met. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
