PROGRAM WEBSITE
Criminology - Capilano College Capilano College does not offer a Criminology program. However, the College does offer the opportunity to study and earn transfer credits towards a Criminology program at Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia, University of Northern British Columbia, or University of Victoria via the Criminology 101 course. The latter is 3-credit, 15-week course providing students with an introduction 'to the analysis of the relationship between crime and society' including the core concept 'that crime is embedded in social structure and process and therefore must be understood in relation to, rather than apart from, normal social activity.' Furthermore, the Course will explore various 'classical and contemporary perspectives on the definition, causes and consequences of crime and' encourage 'student analysis of contemporary issues involving crime in Canadian society.' Students can also take Philosophy 140 and 141 at the College, which 'transfer to SFU as criminology courses.' To be eligible for admission to Criminology 101, applicants must have a 'British Columbia Secondary School Graduation (Grade 12) or equivalent with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (60%) calculated on English 12 and three academic Grade 12 courses.' Upon completion of a degree in Criminology, graduates will be prepared to pursue employment, career advancements, and/or further studies in Criminology, Criminal Justice, or related areas. Career-wise, graduates may apply for positions across Canada in such areas as border or community services, corrections, crime prevention, criminal investigation, criminal law, insurance, investigations, law and law enforcement, national security, offender case management, policing, public administration, Revenue Canada, social work, the courts, and victim services, to name but a few. Graduates can, for instance, become bailiffs, corrections officers, detectives, parole officers, police officers, probation officers, researchers, and social workers. Students should also be aware that having a criminal record could be an obstacle to finding employment in criminology, criminal justice, and related fields. Moreover, possessing a degree will allow graduates to also pursue further studies at various graduate or law schools across Canada.
