What you studyLaw & CriminologyLaw & CriminologyAccountingBusiness StudiesFinanceHuman Resource ManagementAccountingBusiness StudiesFinanceHuman Resource Management
What it isCritical 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 law alongside criminology — the study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — in a combined program rather than pursuing law alone. This integrated approach lets you understand both the legal framework and the social and psychological dimensions of crime before specializing. It suits students interested in criminal law, policy, or roles where understanding crime's causes matters as much as knowing the law.You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.
