THE MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE IN CRIMINOLOGY
Admission Requirements
The requirement for admission to the M.A. candidate year of the program is an Honours degree in Criminology or a related field from an accredited university. Applicants without an Honours degree in Criminology or a related discipline may be required to take additional courses. Students transferring into Criminology from a non-related discipline and those with insufficient preparatory background may be required to take additional courses before proceeding into the candidate year.
Applicants will be considered on the basis of:
· Obtaining a 77% minimum cumulative average in the final two years of study (full- time equivalent) of the 4- year undergraduate degree.
· Strong recommendations based on faculty observation of student's performance, work experience, or community involvement demonstrating clear commitment to and understanding of criminological concerns.
· Background preparation and graduate faculty resources that are available in the area of specialization indicated on the application
