Program details

Overview

The Criminology program at Laurentian University focuses on the relationships between social inequities, crime, and violence in contemporary society. Students study criminological theories, crime prevention, and the criminal justice system, examining how crime intersects with youth, media, the state, corporations, healthcare, legislation, and Indigenous peoples. The Honours specialization requires 120 credits and is typically completed over four years of full-time study on campus, leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology. A general concentration and a minor are also available, including an online option for those tracks. The program combines theoretical grounding in criminology with an examination of how social structures and institutions shape crime and justice outcomes. Graduates are prepared for careers in law, justice, and corrections, and for further study in law school or graduate programs.
