Bachelor of Art - Criminal Justice

Concordia’s BA in Criminal Justice prepares students to pursue graduate school opportunities and/or enter careers in a broad spectrum, including criminal justice administration, forensic investigation, counselling, corrections, juvenile justice and public welfare.

The degree program has an interdisciplinary structure. Sociology courses will give students insight into the impact of socioeconomic class and culture. In Social Work courses, students will examine the interplay of family dynamics, social forces and social services. Students will better understand how thoughts, emotions, and the brain influence human behaviour through psychology courses. Coursework includes an internship, plus a range of recommended electives in political science and history.

The Criminal Justice major consists of the Concordia Core, the Criminal Justice Core, classes from the Social Science Core, several Exploration and Enrichment support courses, and a 6-credit Experiential Learning internship.
