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 psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.You study education and arts together while you train to teach French at the middle and high school level. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds your subject-area coursework in arts and social sciences alongside your teaching methods training, so you graduate ready to teach French plus another subject. It suits people who want to teach languages and are comfortable studying education theory and practice from day one.
