The Major in Criminology is a 42-unit undergraduate concentration, situated within the Faculty of Social Sciences, covering the scientific analysis of crime, the criminalization process, and social control. The program examines intervention approaches to crime and organizes its study around five core areas: criminal behaviour, the social construction of social norms, the criminalization process, social relations, and the criminal justice system. Compulsory coursework spans criminal law and the criminal justice system, the history of criminological thought, positivist and societal-reaction theories, research methodology, and contemporary critical theories, including topics such as Indigenous self-determination and justice and abolitionism. It is combined with another major or a minor to complete the Bachelor's degree, and is offered in both English and in French.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
