What it isThis program lets you study criminal justice and education at the same time, earning two degrees in five years instead of six. You'll learn about law, crime, and the justice system while also training to teach grades 1 through 6. It suits people who want to work as a teacher but have a strong interest in how the criminal justice system works, or who see themselves teaching in alternative schools or programs focused on at-risk youth.You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree.Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.
