This combined program leads to both a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Criminology over five years of full-time study. Coursework examines how crime is defined, why individuals commit criminal acts, and how society responds to crime, drawing on sociology, psychology, and law. Students build research and analytical skills applicable to criminal justice, corrections, policing, public policy, and criminological research. The multi-degree structure allows students to complete graduate-level study in criminology directly after the undergraduate component, without a separate admission process partway through. Classes are delivered on campus with intakes in September, January, and May. Admission is assessed on Ontario secondary school prerequisites, including a Grade 12 English mark, with an average admission range in the mid-70s; applicants from outside Ontario are assessed against equivalent provincial requirements, and international applicants are assessed on equivalent senior secondary coursework. Graduates are prepared for roles across the criminal justice system as well as for further research-oriented or policy careers requiring a graduate-level credential in criminology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary school applicants need an admission average in the mid-70s, including Grade 12 English at a minimum of 60%. Applicants from other Canadian provinces are assessed against the equivalent provincial course requirements. International applicants are assessed on an equivalent average (mid-70s) with senior secondary English at a minimum of 60%, and must have completed their three most recent years of full-time education in English without ESL coursework, or otherwise demonstrate English proficiency.
