Students who have completed a two-year diploma in criminology at the College of New Caledonia will be able to continue their studies online through the Justice Institute of British Columbia starting in September.
That's when classes in JIBC's Bachelor of Law Enforcement Studies will be available outside the Lower Mainland via the internet.
“Over the years, it’s been a challenge for interested students from other parts of B.C. to take the leap and move to the Lower Mainland to complete our law enforcement degree program,” said Dr. Stuart Ruttan, Dean of the School of Criminal Justice and Security and Office of International Affairs. “We’re excited to make this flexible, online offering a reality and expand access of our popular degree program throughout the province and beyond.”
The program is designed to ladder from a two-year diploma or associate degree in a related field, such as criminology, which is offered at CNC.
Through the BLES program, students take third-and fourth-year level courses to obtain the degree. They will also have the flexibility to take up to five years to complete the program.
For the September 2020 intake, students will take a minimum of three courses per semester, with more flexible options available in subsequent years.
More information is available at www.jibc.ca and questions about the offering can be directed to bles@jibc.ca.
