Program details
Overview
The Criminology program at the University of Regina examines crime, justice, and social responses to harm through three stacked credentials: a one-to-two-year certificate, a two-year diploma, and a four-year Bachelor of Arts, allowing students to progress from one level to the next. Coursework covers restorative justice, the experiences of Indigenous peoples within the justice system, youth offending, environmental justice, and discrimination, combining criminological theory with analysis of current justice issues. The program includes practicum placements that give students supervised, hands-on experience in corrections, restorative justice, or other community justice organizations. In the fourth year of the bachelor's degree, students who have secured employment with a participating policing agency may pursue a professional officer-training option in place of the standard practicum. The program suits students aiming toward careers in the justice system, community advocacy, or human rights work, as well as those planning further study in law or graduate criminology programs. Graduates commonly go on to work as probation or parole officers, correctional workers, policy analysts, youth workers, or human rights advocates, applying the program's mix of theoretical grounding and applied justice-sector experience.

Admission Requirements: The Criminology program page sets out no admission requirements of its own beyond directing applicants to select their student type and consult the Faculty of Arts application guide. Under the University of Regina's general high-school assessment, applicants are judged on a four-course average — English or Français Language Arts, a higher-level math or calculus course, and two further approved math, science, social-science or language courses — with early conditional admission available to Grade 12 students on their Grade 11 and completed Grade 12 marks; for Fall 2027 entry the Faculty of Arts sets that average at 70%. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 83 with no section below 20 (tests before 21 January 2026; overall 4.5 on the revised scale afterwards), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a Literacy score of 105.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
