Honours stream

The honours stream offers the opportunity for students to deepen and augment their studies in criminal justice and will prepare students for further studies if they choose to pursue graduate or law school after graduating from Mount Royal University. Students complete an Honours seminar and a six credit Honours research project spread over two semesters.
