Program overview
Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - Criminal Justice Stream is a four year honours route at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. The Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - Criminal Justice Stream curriculum covers the justice system as a whole, spanning policing, courts, corrections, law and the administration of justice across four years.
Studied as a single major rather than inside a dual degree, Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - Criminal Justice Stream gives students the full depth of the subject and room for electives across the faculty. Taking Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - Criminal Justice Stream on its own carries one implication worth stating. The general stream keeps every justice direction open, which is why it suits students who are certain about the sector and not yet certain about the role, which is worth weighing before choosing Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - Criminal Justice Stream over a dual route.
No CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - Criminal Justice Stream, since the field of study requirement reaches non degree credentials rather than degrees. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - Criminal Justice Stream with a partner should plan on a single income.
