About the Program

The Criminology profile of the Social Science program is intended to give students a background that permits them to apply to many fields of study at university. This multi- disciplinary option is ideal for students wanting to explore studies in anthropology, criminology, psychology or sociology. Criminology students may pursue studies in law. This is not intended to be a pre-law program.

Career opportunities for Criminology students include: corrections, probation, law enforcement, private policing, law reform or rehabilitation programs – but only after university studies. Students may also pursue possibilities in journalism, administrative and research positions within the criminal justice system, or work in policy setting and application in social and judicial agencies.
