Through this program, you will receive law study courses on legal research skills, legal remedies, and basic principles of legal reasoning. In keeping with the humanities foundations of the program, you will also take electives unrelated to law school. These courses will develop and enhance your critical thinking, writing, research, and presentation, skills essential to the success of your future career. Graduates may also pursue other study opportunities at various institutes, colleges and universities across Canada, often with an advanced reputation. Students who intend to transfer to a university after graduation “to obtain a degree in criminal justice or criminology should check with that university for their requirements” and “choose elective courses.” For example, students wishing to move on to Simon Fraser University`s Bachelor of Criminology would not only have to take the courses required for the degree, but also the courses in Criminology 2251, 2252, 2254 and 2261 and Psychology 1200 and 2300.
