What you study	Law & Criminology	HistoryNorth and South American Studies	Heritage StudiesHistoryNorth and South American Studies	Heritage StudiesLaw & CriminologyPolitics
What it is	You study crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — what causes people to commit crimes, how police and courts respond, and how society prevents and punishes offences. Unlike a law degree, this focuses on understanding crime itself rather than practising as a lawyer. It suits people interested in criminology, criminal justice work, or social science research who want a broad foundation before specializing further.	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.	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.	You study political systems, government, and law together, starting with foundational courses in politics and criminology before moving toward law-focused courses in later years. This combines subjects rather than being a full law degree, so it prepares you for law school or careers in legal fields without the professional legal qualification itself. It suits students interested in how laws and governments work who want to explore the field before committing to law school.
