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.	You study both business and science together as a combined honours degree, taking courses in fields like accounting, chemistry, computer science, or biology alongside business and economics. This differs from a straight business program because you develop scientific literacy and research skills, not just business knowledge. It suits people who want to understand how science and data work in real-world business contexts, or who haven't decided between these two interests yet.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.
