What it is	Criminal Justice is a program where you study how the legal system, crime, and law enforcement work together. The co-op requirement means you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid work terms in places like police services, courts, or community justice agencies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your studies. It suits people interested in understanding crime and the justice system who want hands-on experience before deciding on a specific career path in law, policing, or related fields.	A philosophy program teaches you how to think critically about fundamental questions: what is knowledge, how should we live, what makes something right or wrong, and how does society work. You'll study philosophy alongside politics and social policy to understand both abstract ideas and their real-world impact on people and institutions. This suits people who enjoy debate, reading complex texts, and asking "why" about things others take for granted.
