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.	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.	Canadian Studies is the academic examination of Canada's history, culture, and social development across different time periods and regions. You explore how Canada formed as a nation, how Indigenous peoples and immigrants shaped it, and how it relates to broader North American contexts. This program suits students interested in understanding Canada's past and present through historical and cultural analysis rather than pursuing a specialized professional credential.	Canadian Studies is the in-depth examination of Canada's history, culture, politics, and society, drawing on historical research and comparative perspectives from across North America. Unlike a straight history program, it situates Canadian topics within broader continental contexts, so you explore what makes Canada distinct and connected to the US and Latin America. This program suits students who want to understand Canada deeply but also appreciate how regional and international forces have shaped it.
