Law, Crime and Justice Studies (Interdisciplinary)

Why study this program?

This program explores the relationship between law, politics, and society, and between people and the state. Students explore crime and criminal behaviour, how laws evolve, and the ways in which law and crime are connected to issues of social justice and inequality.

Our multidisciplinary approach provides students ways to explore different aspects of the law, crime, and justice. Central to our degree is a focus on gender, class, and ethnicity. Understanding how these factors relate to law, crime and bias is vital for addressing the major issues facing the Canadian justice system.

Why study at the University of Alberta?

Augustana Campus, located in Camrose, Alberta, one hour southeast of Edmonton, is home to just over 1,000 students from across Canada and around the world. Augustana offers liberal arts and science degree programs in an intimate and personalized setting, with smaller class sizes and a more flexible academic schedule.

Augustana also offers a modified semester system called The Augustana Calendar. Each semester is comprised of a three-week session studying a single course, followed by a more traditional 11-week session studying up to four courses. This gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into research, travel, and other experiential learning endeavors, while at the same time reducing stress and workload.
