Criminology is concerned with the complex social phenomena of crime and criminalization.
Students in the criminology program explore the problem of crime, the operation of law and the criminal justice system, issues relating to social justice and human rights and the agencies and programs designed to prevent, control and respond to criminal activity.
The honours program offers a rigorous examination of a particular subject area for those who desire a more specialized undergraduate preparation. This is the preferred program for students who wish to continue their education at the graduate level.
Students normally enter the program after first year, although you may be eligible to enter the program later in your undergraduate studies.
