    About

    Criminology with a northern flavour. Study crime, justice, criminal behaviour and social reactions to crime with a northern and regional perspective that better reflects the Yukon and issues unique to the North. COVID-19 and Northern Justice and Criminology program changes in 2021 Yukon University made changes to the way its courses are delivered as a result of COVID-19. Fall 2021 at YukonU: Planning is underway to support a safe, CMOH approved return to campus for Fall 2021. We look forward to welcoming our students, faculty, staff and the public back on our 13 campuses. For the most up-to-date Fall info, see YukonU.ca/COVID-19. Scheduled courses will be offered face-to-face and online this academic year. Some courses may have weekly scheduled video-conferenced sessions, while others may run entirely face to face. See the course pages and course outlines for details. Students entering or continuing in the program in Spring or Fall 2021 should ask the School of Liberal Arts or a Program Advisor for assistance in arranging substitutes or to reorder their study plans. Contact the School of Liberal Arts for more information about COVID-19-related changes to the Northern Justice and Criminology programs.

    Criminology is the multidisciplinary study of crime, criminal behaviour, and social reactions to crime and criminal behaviour.

    The northern justice emphasis of criminology means that southern-based criminology courses are "northernized" and "regionalized" through integration of relevant course content and the assignment of coursework to better reflect the environment in which northerners live, work and study.

    The certificate option is designed for those students who do not intend to transfer directly to a Bachelor of Arts (Criminology) degree program but are interested in taking criminology courses to increase their knowledge of this field of study.

    The diploma is fashioned to meet the Yukon University Northern Studies requirements as well as the first- and second-year university transfer requirements to a Bachelor of Arts (Criminology) degree program at major Canadian universities.

    The program presents an ideal continuing education opportunity and is useful for those seeking entry-level employment in justice related fields.
