What it isYou study the causes of crime, how people commit it, and how society responds through the justice system. This is a social science program rather than police or law training, and it combines criminology with sociology to help you understand crime from multiple angles. It suits people curious about why crime happens and how to address it, rather than those set on becoming lawyers or police officers.A four-year program that examines gender roles, power dynamics, and women's experiences across history, culture, and society using theories from sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, this program centres feminist analysis as its core lens and often includes applied work placements through co-op. It suits students interested in understanding social inequality, policy, or community work through a gender-focused framework.You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
