a smooth criminal

how do i complete a master’s in criminology?

by dusting for prints in each of your ex-boyfriends bedrooms and solving the case of the frat house that roofied your best friend’s roomate. oh wait. that was an episode of veronica mars last week.

i’m going to assume – from your confusing wording – that you are talking about being admitted into the U of T’s master’s program in criminology. and if i am correct (which i have to be since i am askastudent), this is what the website tells me:

Candidates for admission to the M.A. Program must have a four-year university bachelor’s degree normally in the social sciences or humanities. (A four year bachelor degree is regarded as normally consisting of 20 full courses). Applicants with arts and science degrees must have at least a B+ standing. Applicants who have already completed a J.D. degree or its equivalent in law schools must have at least a B standing. For further information on gaining admission to the program, please check our website www.criminology.utoronto.ca under FAQs.

Since many more people apply than we can accommodate, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.

Masters courses in criminology are designed with the expectation that students have a sound understanding of social science methodologies, are capable of writing research and analytical papers, and are conversant with criminological theories.

Students are permitted to complete the M.A. program on a part-time or full-time basis. Full- and part-time M.A. students’ programs begin in September. In all cases students are required to complete the program within the time limits set for the M.A. degree under the general regulations of the School of Graduate Studies.

if you’re just looking for degree requirements for the masters, check out this site instead.

cheers, askastudent
