​"As a Nipissing University Criminal Justice Student, I was able to draw experiences from in the classroom, in the field conducting research, and even in a guest speaker series with a professor in Merida, Mexico. The program provided me with so many unique opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to experience at another institution. Now having almost completed my Masters degree from the University of Ottawa, I can say with certainty that I would not have been able to accomplish everything I have without the education, experience and most importantly the faculty and their non-stop support during the four years I was there."

"Conversations in the law school lounge made me realize just how unique my undergraduate experience was. Now setting foot in the court room as an articling student, I have also realized how prepared Nipissing has made me for my career as a lawyer. Having learned from professors who had also spent part of their careers in the court room meant that I had gained practical insight into the everyday workings of the court system. While articling for the Ministry of the Attorney General - Criminal Law Division, the knowledge I gained in my undergrad has definitely made the overwhelming transition a smoother one. The diversity of criminal justice courses I was able to take at Nipissing is now playing a very important role as I use that knowledge on a daily basis. I am so grateful to each of my Nipissing criminal justice professors for their knowledge and help over the years, and would recommend this amazing experience and opportunity to any student interested in criminal justice!"

Graduate Rosie Mayoh, was hired as a Project Analyst with the Ministry of Public Safety and Security (Correctional Services Division) in Toronto and says, “I was introduced to my current field through the student placement component. I found the education that I received from Nipissing to be an excellent means of preparation, and it provided me with the tools I needed to build a career in the Criminal Justice System.”
