Criminal Justice Honours Degree
What is an honours degree?
An honours degree is a four-year degree with different expectations and rewards. The purpose of an honours degree is to provide for an intensive and advanced study of the criminal justice system.
Most CJ honours classes are seminar based and students are required to complete an honours thesis under the supervision of a chosen faculty member. Students actively present, contribute, and respond to course material. This cultivates critical thinking skills that are transferable to graduate work and careers in law, communications, public administration and other such fields.
Students that want to go on to graduate school should take the four year BA Honours in Criminal Justice. The program consists of 120 undergraduate hours and requires a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Additional to your three year requirements, Honours students must take 30 hours of mostly 4000 and some 3000 level courses.
