Overview
The Postgraduate Degree Specialization Certificate in Corrections at the University of Saskatchewan is an applied graduate training program for senior corrections managers and practitioners already working in the field. It emphasizes evidence-based corrections programming and practice, and active leadership in corrections research and evaluation, with the aim of strengthening correctional effectiveness and community safety. The certificate comprises 26 credit units of coursework, completed full-time over a two-year period. Applicants must already hold a Master's degree in a relevant human-services discipline, such as Psychology, Sociology, Criminology, or Social Work, and must have current employment with, and a letter of nomination from, a sponsoring corrections agency. The program is administered through the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and targets working professionals rather than new graduates.
