What you study	Law & Criminology	HistoryNorth and South American Studies
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.	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.
