The Master of Science (MSc) degree program is designed for students seeking to be trained as a researcher capable of creating original, internationally recognized research in computer science.

The MSc program can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.

Not all courses are offered every year. Please consult the department for course offerings.

MScAC Core Courses

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree program is designed for students seeking to be trained as a researcher capable of creating original, internationally recognized research in computer science. Research conducted under the supervision of a faculty member will constitute a significant and original contribution to computer science.

Applicants may enter the PhD program via one of two routes: 1) following completion of an appropriate master's degree or 2) direct entry following completion of a bachelor's degree.

Course List

The Master of Arts (MA) program encompasses two related disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields.

The first is criminology, which can be briefly defined as the study of all aspects of crime, including its definitions, causes, and intellectual genealogy, as well as the policy and institutional responses to it. Although criminology features some aspects of a separate discipline, including its own theoretical schools, journals, and university departments, it also draws heavily on related social science disciplines.

The field of sociolegal studies, also known as…

All courses are half courses (0.5 full-course equivalent [FCE]), with the exception of CRI3360Y Research Paper. Not all courses are offered every year. Consult the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies regarding course availability.

Due to space limitations, criminology graduate students will be given priority in graduate course enrolment. All other students must receive written permission from the instructor and the Graduate Coordinator before enrolling in any of the Centre's graduate courses.

Required Courses

Similar to the MA program, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program reflects the same emphasis on interdisciplinarity and flexibility, as well as an integrated, inclusive approach to criminology and sociolegal studies.

The primary mission of the doctoral program is to prepare future professional academics for a career in teaching and research; graduates hold faculty positions throughout Canada, in the United States, and around the world.

Over the years, PhD students have pursued dissertation projects on extremely varied research questions involving aspects of…

The MA degree program is designed to provide academic study and research training related to curriculum and pedagogy. Applicants who anticipate going on to further study at the PhD level are advised to apply for enrolment in an MA rather than an MEd degree program.

This program is delivered in person, which means that while the program may offer some courses online, a student will take less than one-third of their courses online.

The MA can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.
