What you study	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology	Heritage StudiesHistoryNorth 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.	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.
