| 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 is a four-year degree combining the study of political systems and institutions with media, journalism, and how people communicate messages to audiences. Unlike studying either subject alone, you examine how politics and communication shape each other — analyzing political campaigns, news coverage, and public persuasion. It suits students interested in policy, political reporting, campaign work, or understanding how information flows in democratic societies. | This program combines the study of how people and institutions communicate with the analysis of political systems and power. You'll take courses in both media studies and politics, learning how messages shape public opinion and policy. It suits students interested in understanding the relationship between communication and government, or who want careers in political communications, journalism, or policy analysis. |
