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 program combines the study of politics and social policy with a focus on global issues and international systems. You'll examine how governments, policies, and social movements interact across borders, rather than focusing on one country alone. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with organizations in Canada or abroad, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. It suits people interested in international affairs, diplomacy, development work, or policy analysis who want to test their skills in actual jobs before graduating.	This is a one-year diploma focused on how governments design and carry out policies that affect society — things like healthcare, education, welfare, and environmental rules. You study the politics behind policy decisions and learn how social policies actually get made and implemented. It suits people who already have a completed degree or college diploma and want to shift into policy work without committing to another full bachelor's degree.
