| 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. | This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession. | 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. | A BA General with an Area of Concentration lets you study one subject in depth — say English Studies or Economics — while taking electives across other humanities and social sciences. Unlike a specialized honours program, this approach gives you flexibility to explore multiple fields without committing fully to a single discipline. It suits students who have a clear interest in one area but want room to discover related subjects and keep career options open. |
