B.A. in Criminology

Justice served is about so much more than crime and punishment. In Trent’s new Criminology degree, you will gain a foundational understanding of the influence of social inequality as a cause of crime. Learning alongside faculty experts in Sociology, Law, Gender & Social Justice and Indigenous Studies, you will be able to apply your skills and knowledge to better understand the systems at play for both criminals and victims. In this hybrid-model program, students will study online and in person on campus. Students also have the potential to perform independent research on homelessness, the criminalization of women, as well as gain critical understanding of the realities of Indigenous peoples’ and the criminal justice system.CAREER OPPORTUNITIESCivilian Crime AnalystPolice OfficerYouth WorkerLaw ProfessionalVictim Service WorkerCorrections OfficerPolicy ConsultantBorder Services OfficerCommunity Development WorkerCrime Prevention WorkerProbation and Parole Officer
