What it isCriminal 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.This program combines a degree in criminal justice with teacher training, letting you study crime, law, and the justice system while also earning your teaching qualification. Unlike a sequential approach where you'd finish one degree then start another, you complete both simultaneously in four years. It suits people who want to teach high school subjects like law or social studies and bring real knowledge of the criminal justice system into the classroom.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
