Why Study Criminology at UAlberta?
Experience Beyond the Classroom
Our award-winning faculty bring teaching and research excellence to the classroom, from stimulating lectures to small seminars. Field placements, faculty research mentorships, and opportunities such as Community Service-Learning (CSL) and the Arts Work Experience (AWE) complement in-class instruction, offering the benefits of experiential learning. CSL is designed to integrate hands-on community projects into academic courses, and the AWE program offers career-related, paid work experience through either the Arts Co-op Program or discipline-specific internships. The Certificate in Applied Social Science Research also provides hands-on learning experiences through which students can develop practical research and critical thinking skills.
