BA (Hons) Criminology (Co-op Available)

at Trent University

Gain critical and interdisciplinary understanding of criminalization and punishment, in a program that places critical focus on systemic oppression, including the historical and contemporary realities of Indigenous peoples' over-criminalization.

In this interdisciplinary degree program, students are encouraged to use many lenses to examine ideas surrounding crime, justice, and the role of social inequality. Learn alongside faculty experts in Sociology, Law, Gender & Social Justice and Indigenous Studies, as you cultivate the analytical and digital competencies valued in today’s workplaces. Explore the bigger impact of criminalization on our legal and social structures and apply your knowledge in real-world environments through the co-op stream, a fourth-year volunteer placement helping community or government agencies, or other hands-on courses and experiences.
