Juris Doctor and Master of Arts in Criminology

The Faculty of Law has long been interested in inter-disciplinary approaches to the study of criminal justice and social regulation, and the JDMA (Criminology) Program is designed for students who wish to pursue these approaches. The program permits the completion of both degrees in three years rather than the four years it would take to acquire them independently. In the first year of the program, students complete all first year courses at the Faculty of Law. In the two combined upper years, students fulfill the compulsory requirements of the upper years of the JD and the course requirements for the combined program.

Applicants must have completed, or must be in the final year of an appropriate four-year bachelor's degree program or its equivalent with at least a mid-B (75%) standing in the final year of that program.
