4-Year Bachelor's Degree

Program Summary

Program Description

In this program, students earn both an Honours Bachelor of Applied Science in Justice Studies, and a Diploma in Police Foundations OR Community and Justice Services. This four-year dual program exposes students to the justice system: from the rules people follow, to dealing with people and communities to the hands-on processing of crime scenes and making arrests. Students build key skills required in any area of justice such as critical thinking, research methods and how to write effectively.

In their first year, students will build a foundation in justice and related fields. In year two, they begin to take courses that touch on various services and how they are delivered, such as counselling, conflict resolution, forensics and policing. In second year, students decide which diploma to pursue, focusing in on one of these two areas:
  • Community and Justice Services: Focuses on social issues and explores the development of community programs, ways to work with both victims and offenders, and methods of crime prevention.
  • Police Foundations: Prepares students for a career in the various levels of law enforcement in the Canadian justice system. 
Years three and four move on to advanced courses that immerse students in issues such as ethics; equality; rights and freedoms; youth and the law; and criminology.
