Bachelor of Arts - Law and Justice - General

The Bachelor of Arts - Law and Justice - General at Algoma University's Sault Ste. Marie campus is a three-year bachelor's degree that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will explore law, justice, criminology and the legal system — how laws are made, applied and challenged, and how justice intersects with society, rights and public policy. The program develops strong research, critical-thinking and communication skills. Graduates pursue careers in law enforcement, corrections, paralegal and legal support, community justice, government and policy, and the degree is a respected foundation for law school and graduate study.

Delivered at Algoma University's welcoming Sault Ste. Marie campus with small classes and personal support, and — as a degree from a public Canadian university — it keeps graduates eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit without the field-of-study restrictions that apply to college programs.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Law Enforcement / Corrections Officer, Paralegal / Legal Assistant and Policy / Justice Researcher, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond subject knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and set you up for long-term success in Canada and around the world.
