Action taken by the Senate Committee on Academic Planning at 

its meeting on December 

and by the Senate Committee on Under- 

graduate Studies at its meeting of December 1, 

gives rise to the 

following motion: 

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the 

Board of Governors, as set forth in S. 

82

, the 

proposed program for an Extended Studies Diploma 

in Criminology." 

It was observed that in adding in the title, "in Criminology" 

technically this would be a new program and would require approval. The 

proposal would lead to some increase in effectiveness and efficiency in 

the course offerings and related enrolments. The Identifier is expected 

to make the document of greater use to those who pursue the program. 

EXTENDED STUDIES DIPLOMA PROGRAM IN CRIMINOLOGY 

The Extended Studies Diploma Program in Criminology through regular on-campus 

course offerings, the DISC format, or a combination of the two modes would 

be offered to those persons who have previously completed a bachelor's or 

higher degree. It will be of special interest to those who wish to fulfill 

or change career goals, to professionals who seek mid-career advancement 

through up-grading and expanding their knowledge of criminology and to 

those who wish to develop their general education background. 

Diploma requirements at Simon Fraser University would include an undergraduate 

degree and thirty semester hours of upper division courses, at least fifteen 

in Criminology. In addition, two lower division prerequisites are required. 

These include CRIM 101-3, Introduction to Criminology and CRIM 131-3, 

Introduction to the Criminal Justice SIem. 

At least five of the Criminology upper division courses below are required 

for the Extended Studies Diploma Program in Criminology. These courses 

constitute the formal structure for this program:
