What you study	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology	Education Studies Sociology
What it is	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.	You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and policing practices in Canada. This online program lets you learn from home while exploring both the causes of crime and the practical side of law enforcement, rather than focusing only on theory or only on police operations. It suits people interested in criminal justice careers or further study who need flexibility to learn remotely.	You study how children grow up and how society shapes their experiences, drawing on education and sociology. You'll examine childhood from multiple angles: schools, families, peer groups, and social systems. If you choose the co-op option, you'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with organizations serving young people, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people interested in education, child development, or social issues who want both academic understanding and workplace learning.
