CRIMINAL JUSTICE

POLITICAL SCIENCE

This program focuses on different aspects of the criminal justice system, including the police, courts and corrections, and other forms of social sanctions and controls. Students are challenged to think critically about how justice is best achieved, the key issues confronting the criminal justice system, the strengths and weaknesses of possible reforms, and the ethical dilemmas facing criminal justice practitioners.

This program offers a systematic study of politics at various levels: global, regional, national, and local. It examines how politics affects our lives and how different actors (such as international organizations, governments, political parties, social movements, civil society and individuals) make decisions that can affect changes. Students can choose courses from five streams: Global Politics; Political Thought; Law, Public Policy and Administration; Canadian and Comparative Politics; and City and Community Politics.

PSYCHOLOGY

SOCIOLOGY

Why do people think, feel, perceive, and behave the way they do? Psychologists seek to find answers to these questions by studying the human mind and behaviour. Explore topics ranging from the basic nervous system to principles of perception, learning, and cognition to gain an understanding of both social and clinical psychology. You can pursue a degree in Arts or in Science. See Biopsychology in the Science section for more information.

Sociology is an examination of the relations between the “individual” and “society.” Studying sociology can help you to develop a “sociological imagination,” which is a quality of mind that provides us with the ability to understand our own personal experiences as they are shaped by the society in which we live. Sociologists help us to understand how common sense comes to be common sense. In other words, sociology tells us how and why certain ideas are taken for granted and become popular and dominant during different social, economic and historical time periods. Sociology is often referred to as the “queen of the social sciences” because it uses history, philosophy, economics and statistics to understand social phenomena like crime rates, social inequality, student protest and changes taking place in capitalist democracies.

SAMPLE COURSES Social Psychology Developmental Psychology Physiological Psychology Culture & Psychology Psycholinguistics

UWSA DAYCARE The new on-campus daycare centre offers space for 112 kids and includes a fantastic green, natural, fenced outdoor play area. It is also used as a practicum site for training students in Early Childhood programs.

Disability Studies will challenge you to think about “disability” and “ability” in new ways.

The focus of this interdisciplinary program is the critical analysis of disability in society. Topics to be considered include human rights, social movements, normalcy, eugenics, genetic engineering, family, sexuality, gender, aging employment, education, and international development.

ECONOMICS & FINANCE

Economics analyzes how societies provide for their well-being. The human, capital and land resources at a society’s disposal can satisfy only a limited amount of demands.

Economics and Finance analyzes how financial instruments and markets can contribute to the well-being of all members of society. These instruments and markets allow consumers to invest in private firms, entrepreneurs to expand their businesses, and public officials to manage their debt.

Economics students can earn a 3-year, 4-year or Honours Bachelor of Arts in Economics. In our 4-year BA in Economics, you can choose from six different areas of concentration: Public Policy Environmental Economics Development Financial Markets Political Economy Pre-Honours
