What you study	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology
What it is	You study crime, law enforcement, and the justice system from both legal and social science angles. This program combines criminology — understanding why crime happens and how society responds — with practical law knowledge, rather than being pure law school preparation. The co-op work terms mean you gain real experience in courts, police services, or justice agencies alongside your classroom learning, which suits people who want hands-on exposure to the field before committing to further specialization.	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.	This program teaches you how law works in society and how crime fits into legal systems, without requiring you to go to law school. Unlike a specialized criminology degree, it keeps law and criminal justice equally central throughout. It suits students interested in how courts, police, and rules actually function, or who want a foundation before deciding whether to pursue law professionally.	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.
