Curriculum and Program Review Committee

Report to Academic Council at its meeting of September 19, 2006 

For Action

1. Faculty of Criminology, Justice and Policy Studies - BA (Criminology and Justice) Concurrent Option with Durham College

The Curriculum and Program Review Committee recommends:

That Academic Council approve a concurrent option within the BA (Criminology and Justice) program for qualified Durham College students as outlined in Appendix A.

Rationale:

The Faculty of Criminology, Justice and Policy Studies is in the process of formalizing agreements with Durham College that will provide opportunities for UOIT students to pursue a complementary college diploma (Police Foundations, Law and Security Administration or Court and Tribunal Agent) while concurrently completing a degree in Criminology and Justice.

Also included in this agreement is a reciprocal arrangement for UOIT Criminology and Justice students wishing to receive advanced standing in a college diploma program.
