BACHELOR of HUMAN SERVICES (Police Studies) Co-op, four years, Orillia The Bachelor of Human Services (Police Studies) degree provides a broad critical understanding of the nature, role and function of policing in society. Students will explore a variety of topics relating to careers in law enforcement. The program offers a critical mix of professionalism, technical/legal expertise and analytical skills necessary to succeed in justice-related careers. This multi-dimensional degree complements existing educational initiatives, offering courses that encourage increasing levels of critical thinking and analysis that are dynamic in design, rationale and delivery. Our faculty team is comprised of justice, academic and police experts. Program goals are designed to relate directly to the policing community and its high professional standards. Georgian's approach is incremental, promoting increasingly complex levels of critical reflection. Senior courses build upon more fundamental learning, encouraging students to apply and synthesize their prior learning in academically meaningful environments. The college provides an inclusive learning environment, fostering an ongoing partnership among educators, police services and other critical stakeholders, to create program content and design that are both relevant and recognized for excellence. The varied curriculum includes many areas of study, including the Canadian criminal justice system, forensics, sociology, psychology, policing, research, organized crime and diversity. 16 UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP CENTRE 2014 • 2015 DEGREE and GRADUATE STUDIES
