What you study	Law & Criminology	Accounting Business Studies Economics Finance
What it is	You study the causes of crime, how the justice system works, and how laws are enforced and applied. This is broader than a law degree because it focuses on understanding criminal behaviour and the system that responds to it, rather than training you to become a lawyer. It suits people interested in police work, corrections, victim services, or roles in government agencies that deal with crime and justice policy.	You study the core functions of business — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and economics — and learn how to manage them together in real organizations. This four-year program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work in actual companies. It suits people who want practical business skills and real-world experience before graduating.
