Humber’s Bachelor of Social Science – Criminal Justice Honours Degree provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the criminal justice system and the approaches to analyzing global issues and opportunities to evaluate societal and individual responses to crime. 

Supported by a faculty team with diverse researching and in-field experiences, the curriculum combines both theory and applied practice to provide an interdisciplinary and lived experience for learners. 

Emphasis is strongly placed on exploring systemic discriminations of crime and the experiences of marginalized groups, psychological understandings of offending, and current social justice issues.

In the first year of study, students participate in a social science foundational year with their peers from the Faculty of Social & Community Services. 

In years two through four, the curriculum has a criminal justice focus. 

Knowledge and critical skills will be developed through collaborative group projects and presentations to help prepare for a variety of fast-paced and dynamic work settings within the justice field. 

Students will also complete a work-integrated learning credit (offered part-time or full-time). 

Work Placement

Students engage in one 420 hour field experience on a full-time or part-time basis. 

Field experience provides students with practical learning opportunities where they can apply theoretical and course-based content to a real-world job experience.
