What it is	This is a four-year degree in criminology, the study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system. You'll examine how crime happens, why people commit it, and how society responds through law and policing. The co-op option lets you alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work placements in criminal justice settings, giving you real experience alongside your studies. This program suits students interested in understanding crime and justice systems from a social science perspective rather than training directly to become police officers or lawyers.	You study science and law together in one integrated degree, rather than choosing one or the other. This combines courses in biology, chemistry, and physics with legal studies and criminology, giving you broad background in both fields. It suits people drawn to science who also want to understand law and regulation, or who are exploring whether a legal career in science-related areas appeals to them.	You study science subjects like biology, chemistry, or physics alongside accounting and finance courses, learning how to apply scientific knowledge to financial decision-making and business problems. Unlike a straight science degree, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your studies, alternating between school and jobs. This suits people who want a science background but are drawn to business applications and need real-world work experience before graduating.
