The Diploma in Criminal Justice prepares students to function as front-line practitioners within the criminal justice field. The applied program provides students with the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills and values necessary to be successful in a broad range of entry-level positions, with a distinct focus on the integration of theory and practice. Course work also provides an understanding of law, policy, and practice as it pertains to criminal justice. The diploma may be accepted at a number of universities; for the transferability of individual courses to BC universities, consult the BC Transfer Guide published by the BC Council on Admissions and Transfers.
Students leaving with the diploma will graduate with competencies including effective interpersonal and communication skills, problem solving, basic conflict resolution and mediation, the management of cases, behaviour and emotions, effective interviewing and report writing, and the ability to be reflective practitioners and successful team members.
