Overview

The Criminology program at Memorial University of Newfoundland would be beneficial to individuals with a scholarly interest in acts and behaviours defined and viewed as deviant and/or illegal, as well as in social and legal justice, policing, corrections, law enforcement, rehabilitative supports and services, and justice/legal system themes more broadly.

Those who have completed the diploma in police studies; experienced police, correctional, probation, or parole officers; and others working in a policing, correctional, or justice system environment may also be interested in pursuing a degree in criminology.

The major in criminology does not constitute a qualification in policing or corrections.
