Bachelor of Applied Arts in Criminal Justice Offered in conjunction with the New Brunswick Community College - Miramichi, the Bachelor of Applied Arts in Criminal Justice (BAACJ) offers an education that will prepare entry-level practitioners to work in various sectors of the criminal justice system such as community correctional practice and the wider public safety field. The BAACJ is a four-year articulated programme. The first two years are offered at NBCC - Miramichi where students begin their introduction to the criminal justice system leading to the diploma in criminal justice. The third and fourth years of the programme are offered by St. Thomas where compulsory courses focus on the further development of students’ theoretical and conceptual understanding of the Canadian criminal justice system and a more concentrated academic focus in the liberal arts. Upon completion of the second stage of the programme, students are awarded the bachelor of applied arts degree in criminal justice. In some cases, students who have graduated from other two year community colleges with comparable credentials to the criminal justice diploma may be admitted into the third year of study in the BAACJ programme. However, there is limited enrolment in the programme and meeting the minimum requirements for entry into the programme does not guarantee admission to the BAACJ. Gaining Admission Students who wish to pursue the BAACJ must meet the admission requirements for admission to St. Thomas bacccaulareate programmes. Upon completion of the diploma portion of this articulated programme at the community college, students apply for second stage admission to St. Thomas.

Community college graduates must have a minimum grade point average of 2.70 (B-) on each of the prescribed first-stage St. Thomas University courses.
