Personal Reflections on Justice Education at Mount Royal University
Abstract
Justice education at Mount Royal University started over 45 years ago with the launch of two community college two-year diplomas. Designed to be career preparation, the curriculum in the diplomas struck an importance balance of Criminal Justice and Criminology curriculum, skills development and experiential learning. This mix was maintained and expanded in the launch of the Bachelor of Applied Justice Studies degree in 1999. The Bachelor of Art in Criminal Justice was approved in 2008 in anticipation of Mount Royal College’s imminent transition to university status. However, some of the changes associated with gaining university status in 2009 are informing a current reevaluation of the curriculum within the degree. Emerging trends suggest that a new balance between Criminal Justice, Criminology and skills development may be on the horizon.
