What it is	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.	You study the causes of crime, how the criminal justice system works, and the policies governments use to address crime and social issues. This honours program includes a mandatory co-op placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in law enforcement, courts, policy offices, or related organizations. It suits people interested in understanding crime prevention and criminal law from a policy angle, especially those who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.
