What it is	You study how crime happens, why people commit crimes, and how the justice system responds through law, sociology, and social work. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you real experience in courts, police services, or community justice organizations alongside your classroom learning. It suits people curious about crime and the legal system who want both theory and hands-on workplace experience before graduating.	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.	A four-year program that examines gender roles, power dynamics, and women's experiences across history, culture, and society using theories from sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, this program centres feminist analysis as its core lens and often includes applied work placements through co-op. It suits students interested in understanding social inequality, policy, or community work through a gender-focused framework.	This three-year arts degree lets you study human and social issues from multiple angles — combining courses in psychology, sociology, management, and business. Unlike a specialized honours program, it gives you breadth across disciplines rather than depth in one field, so you can explore how people behave, organizations work, and societies function together. It suits students curious about people and society who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a specific major.
