| What it is | This program teaches you how crime, the criminal justice system, and law enforcement actually work — combining theory about why crimes happen with practical study of policing, courts, and corrections. The co-op option lets you work in real criminal justice settings (police services, courts, or government agencies) alongside your classes, giving you direct experience instead of just classroom learning. It suits people curious about crime and justice who want hands-on exposure to the field before deciding on a specific career path. | Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders. | Criminology is the study of why people commit crimes, how the criminal justice system responds, and what drives criminal behaviour. Unlike a law degree, you won't train to become a lawyer; instead, you'll examine crime through sociology, psychology, and policy perspectives. This program suits students interested in understanding crime and justice systems rather than practising law itself. | 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. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
