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