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.	This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession.	You study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.
