Overview
Bachelor of Community and Criminal Justice (Honours) is a four-year co-op degree program which emphasizes the importance of individual values, principled leadership, and inter-professional and multi-sector collaboration to address individual and societal issues related to crime, community safety, and community well-being.
The program has a strong foundation in values, service and action. It also draws from a rich network of community and institutional collaborators and partners.
Through an interdisciplinary program design (psychology, sociology, law, criminology, social work, and research), you will be exposed to ideas and learn skills that will help you contribute positively to the community and adapt to changing needs and demands that come with the job.
As a student in this program, you will benefit from the focus on individuals, groups, organizations, and society to tackle the increasing complexity of the community safety landscape. This program combines theory with classroom-based learning and work-integrated experiences, supporting you in developing professional capabilities that will enhance your success in a dynamic and specialized labor market.
As a graduate, you will be well-positioned for access to various careers related to community safety and well-being or continue your education through post-graduate studies in related fields.
Career opportunities
Graduates will be well prepared for careers as:
- probation and parole officers,
- police officers,
- community workers,
- front-line youth workers,
- policy analysts and program planners within government.
Graduates may also work in crime prevention and response, community building, and within regulatory agencies. Training in criminal justice and human behaviour provides meaningful preparation for those seeking positions within other criminal justice fields including institutional corrections and border security.
Scholarly and analytical skill development will also provide a strong foundation for those wishing to pursue graduate training in related disciplines.
