Our Master of Arts (MA) in Criminology is an intensive program that develops foundational knowledge in research practices, theories of crime and deviance, and opportunities for professionalization. Our program fosters professional growth and leadership by challenging our students to engage in critical thinking processes, while providing opportunities for investigative research into contemporary issues relating to criminology and society.
To do this, we offer two distinct streams of study within the MA program:
- One-Year Coursework Stream
- Two-Year Thesis Stream
