Bachelor of Arts - Criminology (General)
About Bachelor of Arts - Criminology (General)
Explore the dynamics of victims, criminals, and crime and how to respond within a complex criminal justice system.
The Criminology program at Laurentian University focuses on the relationships between social inequities, crime, and violence in today’s society and on particular social groups in conflict with the law. The four-year Criminology degree is offered on campus.
In class, students study the minds of criminals, the reasons people commit crimes, and how to prevent crime. They also explore criminological theories, the criminal justice system’s institutions, the social and economic explanations of crime, racial profiling, and policing. The courses utilize a critical lens to evaluate how crime intersects with youth, media, the state, corporations, mass media, healthcare, legislation, and Indigenous peoples.
Students gain hands-on experience by engaging with community members and attending guest lectures. They also have the opportunity to participate in field placements.
Upon graduation, students receive a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology, preparing them for many careers in law, justice, and corrections. They can also choose to continue their studies in law school or pursue a Master’s degree or PhD.
