Transferring into CJPP

Join the exciting study of Criminal Justice and Public Policy (CJPP)! This interdisciplinary program between the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Department of Political Science investigates the links between crime, law, public policy, and social and criminal justice. Our faculty and students are passionate about working to improve life through a critical understanding of the Canadian legal system, all while building a solid foundation for a career in the criminal justice system.

Students interested in applying to transfer into the CJPP major are encouraged to speak with a member of the CJPP program before pursuing next steps. Please email cjpp@uoguelph.ca.
