Canada Taught in English Open to international students

About the Program

Students who are driven by a desire to understand the mechanics of justice and are ready to contribute to the field through evidence-based practice will find a rigorous academic home in this programme. By blending theoretical criminology with a mandatory practicum, the degree ensures that you graduate with 100 hours of professional experience in sectors such as law enforcement, community corrections, or crime prevention.

Research and Professional Distinction

The honours stream is specifically structured for those aiming for graduate studies or roles requiring high-level analytical capabilities. Unlike standard degrees, this path mandates self-directed research, requiring you to secure a faculty supervisor and author a thesis. This independent scholarly work serves as a powerful differentiator on your CV, signaling to both employers and admissions committees that you possess the discipline and intellectual maturity to navigate complex criminological challenges. Throughout the third and fourth years, you will refine your expertise through one of three distinct concentrations, allowing you to tailor your education toward your specific career goals in legal studies, crime analysis, or institutional practice.
