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.
