What it isYou study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and policing practices in Canada. This online program lets you learn from home while exploring both the causes of crime and the practical side of law enforcement, rather than focusing only on theory or only on police operations. It suits people interested in criminal justice careers or further study who need flexibility to learn remotely.Psychology at Glendon is a BA program where you study human behaviour, mental processes, and how people think and interact. You can take electives across many related fields like forensic science, human biology, education, or law depending on your interests. The iBA option requires you to complete part of your degree in French immersion, making it suited to students who want bilingual depth alongside their psychology training.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.
