General Information
Through the Interdepartmental Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice, programs of study leading to the B.A. and B.A. (Honours) degrees in Criminology and Criminal Justice are available to students interested in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the study of Criminology and Criminal Justice. Students will acquire an in-depth understanding of criminal, delinquent, and deviant behaviour, theoretical and practical knowledge of criminal law and the criminal justice system, and societal reaction to crime and deviance. In these programs, students take courses from the three disciplines of Law, Psychology and Sociology that provide the topics and approaches needed to gain insight into the field of criminology while also completing a Concentration in one of these disciplines. Students accepted into the Major will have the opportunity to acquire applied knowledge by undertaking a field placement in an agency active in criminal justice.
