Penology and Youth - Graduate Certificate



"My name is Leea Wood and I just graduated from the Penology and Youth Graduate Certificate program at Durham College. The Penology and Youth program focuses on at-risk youth, in corrections and law enforcement. It opens a lot of doors for employment opportunities in those fields."

"I think that my favourite course in the program was Behaviour Modification. It definitely can help you a lot in not only a future career in law enforcement, but also in your everyday life. It allows you to change behaviour in order for you to influence consequences. That was really great."

"The professors here have been one of the best parts of the entire experience. They make sure that you have a field placement and that you are doing well in your classes. They go that extra mile."

"The class sizes in this program are pretty small, so you get a lot of one-on-one help with the professors. Any time that you do need their help, they are always there for you and they have office hours when they are not in class. They are really driven to make sure that you succeed when you finish this program."

"I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in the field of law and justice. It's been a terrific experience."
