College Certificate - Criminal Justice Studies

The Criminal Justice Certificate Program appeals to students who do not plan to transfer to a university program but who want to take courses in the field of criminal justice to increase their knowledge of the structures and processes in the Canadian justice system. For many, this program provides an opportunity to consider vocational goals or to prepare for access to justice-related occupations. For students who decide to continue their studies at university, the majority of courses transfer.

The majority of courses in the Criminal Justice Certificate Program are university transferrable, so students can continue their studies at a university if they wish. However, students who intend to study criminology at the university level should enroll in the Diploma program for full transfer credit.
