The Correctional Studies degree program starts with a two-year diploma in Correctional
Studies. These initial two years of study provide a comprehensive
introduction to relevant course material and the criminal justice
system. Students that are currently employed in corrections might be able to reduce the number of courses they must sit.
The third year of study builds on the diploma and you will
learn to assess and deal with emerging issues in corrections through
courses in community justice, ethics, behavioural management,
victimology, management and leadership.
By the fourth year, students will apply their skills and abilities in a real-world
correctional environment. You’ll spend your entire fourth year (two
semesters) engaged in a Directed Field Study. You can choose to spend
this study time at your current correctional institution or agency, or the college can help you find a suitable workplace.
