MASTER'S (MA)

There are many options for students interested in pursuing a master's degree in criminology. Students may complete a traditional MA by coursework and thesis, while others may wish to engage in a practicum experience and/or pursue applied/evaluation research.

Students are required to complete course work and an original MA thesis. They are expected to identify a potential senior supervisor. Most students who choose this option either continue on to a PhD program or pursue a career in research, policy analysis or teaching.

Note - Degree requirements and admission criteria were revised for admissions beginning in Fall 2016. There will no longer be a course, practicum and project option. Entrants wishing to engage in a practicum experience and/or pursue applied/evaluation research will be able to do so within the thesis option.
