| Do you possess strong communication and interpersonal skills? Are you looking to lead others with your career in law enforcement? Prepare for those leadership roles in the Justice Studies degree program. Building on the fundamentals of the justice field, the program hones your critical thinking and research skills with a curriculum that meets or surpasses entry-level requirements for management and supervisory positions in municipal, provincial and federal jurisdictions. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Students who have completed a Correctional Studies Diploma or Criminal Justice – Policing diploma from Lethbridge College, or equivalent will be accepted directly into the Bachelor of Applied Arts in Justice Studies. Applicants with a related diploma/degree in a human service or justice related field such as child and youth care, law enforcement, addictions counselling, social work, criminology, or psychiatric nursing will also be admitted, and may be required to complete bridging courses in order to meet degree requirements.
Applicants with a diploma/degree require a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher to be accepted directly into the Bachelor of Applied Arts in Justice Studies.
Applicants with post-secondary credentials and significant related work experience may apply to have their knowledge and skills assessed for transfer credit or prior learning credit in the Correctional Studies diploma, the Criminal Justice – Policing diploma, and the Bachelor of Applied Arts in Justice Studies.
Transfer students entering the program who receive advance credit must meet Lethbridge College’s minimum residency requirements. This means that students may not receive advance credit for work completed at other institutions in excess of 75 per cent of the total credits required for graduation from Lethbridge College. |
