| Prerequisites Notes | To be eligible for MA, students must hold a Bachelor's degree with a major in Criminology or equivalent with a minimum average of 70% (B). To be accepted in the Collaborative program in women's studies at the master's level, applicants must first be accepted to the master's program in a participating program. Successful applicants will normally hold an honours degree or the equivalent and have a minimum average of 70 per cent (B). They must also have a background in women's studies, that is, a minimum of two undergraduate level courses or one graduate level course on women, gender, feminism or sexualities. Students who do not have an adequate background may be eligible to our Special Policy for Admissions.
Applications for admission to the Collaborative program in women's studies at the master's level are submitted at the same time as the application for admission to the Master's program of the relevant discipline. Only one application for admission is required for the collaborative Master’s program. In exceptional cases, students could commence their specialization in women's studies in their second session of their primary program. The letter of intention submitted with the application should include a clear account of the “women’s studies” dimension in the proposed topic of research. | | |

| Description | Criminology is devoted to the scientific analysis of crime, justice and social control. It focuses on four broad questions: the social construction of norms and the notion of crime; the criminalization of specific behaviours, individuals and groups in our society; the analysis of the goals and functioning of the criminal justice system; and the examination of contemporary forms of intervention.
The Collaborative program in women's studies at the master's level is designed for students from Criminology who have an interest in women's studies. These students have the opportunity to combine advanced studies in their primary program with analyses from a women's studies perspective. The degree awarded is a master's degree in the primary program with a "specialization in Women's Studies". | | |
