Bachelor of Community and Criminal Justice (Co-op)

Conestoga College’s Bachelor of Community and Criminal Justice is a four-year, paid co-op degree program. The program emphasizes the importance of individual values, principled leadership, and inter-professional and multi-sector collaboration to address both individual and societal issues related to crime, community safety, and community well-being.

This program is anchored to a strong foundation in values, service, and action, and draws from a rich network of community and institutional collaborators and partners. Through an intentionally designed learning journey, students are exposed to ideas, and they learn skills that will enable them to contribute and adapt to changing needs and demands. Conestoga’s “ecological” focus on individuals, groups, organizations, and society helps students tackle the increasing complexity of the community safety landscape.

The combination of classroom-based and work-integrated learning forms a “bridge to practice”, so students can develop the capabilities that will position them as preferred graduates for the labour market of the next decade.
