A Criminology Diploma does not qualify a student to practise law in Canada. However, it can provide foundational academic preparation for students who later pursue further education in law or related professional fields. NLC describes the diploma as preparation for continued studies in academic and professional programs.
Students can build knowledge in areas connected with criminal behaviour, society, research and the justice system. The program includes university-level courses and can support further studies in Criminology, Criminal Justice, Forensic Studies and Law Enforcement.
The diploma requires the equivalent of two years of first- and second-year courses at Northern Lights College.
For international applicants, NLC's published English requirement includes:
IELTS Academic: Overall 6.0
No band below 5.5
NLC also has specific academic requirements, including a mathematics requirement equivalent to Grade 11-level mathematics with a minimum C grade or an approved alternative assessment.
The eligibility information shown in promotional material may differ from the college's detailed admission requirements, so applicants should have their profile assessed before applying.
Dawson Creek offers students the opportunity to study outside a major metropolitan centre while experiencing life in northeastern British Columbia.
For students interested in rural study options and exploring future career pathways in criminal justice and public safety, Northern Lights College can be an option worth considering.
