This is a part-time program and is designed for students who are pursuing a career in one of the components of the criminal justice system.  Normally, applicants will have a minimum of one year of full-time work experience related to the criminal justice system by the time they begin this program. The program requires 8 single-term courses at the 500 or 600-level, plus a project (SOC 900) equivalent to ★3. Students are also required to complete mandatory ethics training and Professional development. Depending on the student’s background, two full-time field placements of four months each may be required.  In addition to taking criminology courses, coursework in related disciplines is encouraged. Students with the relevant experience in the criminal justice system without one or more of these courses will be required to make up any course deficiencies in addition to the regular program requirements.
